SILCHAR, Aug 30: A high-level delegation team of the World Bank will be visiting the three districts of Barak Valley on September 2, to examine the implementation and progress of various projects undertaken in the Department of Pisciculture and Fisheries in the valley. The 10-member team of the World Bank will visit Hailakandi, where they will peruse the effective implementation and utilization of different schemes under the jurisdiction of Fisheries department, like Asom Agriculture Development Yojana, Asom Agricultural Competitive Projects (AACP) of the Asom government. The team will then pay a visit to the different project utilization sites in Cachar and Karimganj districts. However, the administrative wings of the three districts and the Fisheries department have maintained silence on the scheduled visit.
