Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Monday said he has discussed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi the issue of suggesting to foreign companies coming to India that they set up their bases in the state.
The state government has already written to the Centre requesting it to advise the foreign entities to make Assam their home in India, Sonowal said during a meeting with representatives of PSUs, industry chambers and tea associations.
"In view of many foreign companies expressing interest to migrate their bases to India, the chief minister said he has already discussed the matter with the prime minister," according to an official release.
