GUWAHATI: On Saturday, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankar prayed at the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati, Assam. "During the day-long Assam visit tomorrow, Governor Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar and Dr Sudesh Dhankhar will seek blessings at Kamakhya Temple...at 08.30 AM," the governor's Twitter feed tweeted on Friday.

The Kamakhya Temple (one of the 51 Shakti Pithas) is a Sakta temple dedicated to the mother goddess Kamakhya and is located atop the Nilachal Hills in Guwahati. Earlier on May 9, during the former's visit to Assam on the occasion of the Sarma-led government's first anniversary, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and state Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma offered prayers at the temple.

On May 10, the Sarma-led BJP government in Assam completed a year in power, and Shah launched several projects for the state's development, including the first issue of "Asom Barta," a "Government of Assam" newspaper, to keep the state's people informed about government policies and their implementation. On the same day, Shah honoured the Assam Police with the President's Colour for their 25 years of service in Guwahati.

Assam is the country's tenth state to receive the President's Colour for excellent achievement in combatting insurgency, regulating crime, preserving law and order, and protecting people and property.
