Saraighat Bridge over Brahmaputra
The rail-cum-road Saraighat
Bridge over Brahmaputra connects the North-East with rest of India. It
was the first bridge to be built across the might river and was
inaugurated in June 1963 by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. The name Saraighat
refers to a historic battleground where Ahom General Lachit Borphukon
defeated the invading Mughal army in fiercely fought battle in 1671.
