Addressing a pubic meeting, the newly inducted minister and local MP said her priority would be to road project which plans to link the National Highway 52 with National Highway 37 via Majuli island.
Narah said she had recommended to the North East Council to fast-track building of two bridges over the Subansiri and Luit, which is proposed under the Rs 1,700 crore project mooted in 2010.
The minister also said that she would try to ensure that the road-cum-rail Bogibeel bridge, which will connect the north and south bank of Brahmaputra in Dibrugarh district, was completed by March 2014.
Regarding the flood and erosion problem, Narah said dykes in the banks of rivers were contructed decades ago and there was a need to make new dykes rather than repairing existing ones.
She also said that flood in the state should be declared as a national problem and assured to raise the matter with the prime minister.
