Once the committee finalises the plans, the construction work is expected to commence within one to two months.
After the cabinet meeting held yesterday, CM Sarma informed in a press conference that the government is taking necessary steps to ensure swift justice for Zubeen Garg.

Additionally, a fast-track court will be established for this purpose."
