New Sub Divisional HQ at Bhergaon

With the inauguration of newly constructed office building complex,the long felt need for the permanent office building complex of the Sub Divisional Officer (Civil) in Bhergaon Civil sub Division of the BTAD district of Udalguri at Bhergaon-16 km to the west from Tangla has come to the reality. The new building was officially inaugurated on October 3 in presence of a good number of gathering. After the creation of the Udalguri district carving it out from Darrang district as per the provisions of the historic Bodoland Accord in 2004, the office of the Sub Divisional Officer (Civil) was functioning under makeshift arrangement causing a lot of problems and difficulties to the officials of the Sub Division administration as well as of the people of the Sub Division. Realizing the need for the permanent office building, the state government in 2009 had started the construction work of the office complex along with the residential quarters, boundary walls etc at the estimated cost of an amount of Rs. 230 lakhs which took almost five years for its completion.
