Assam Approves Proton Beam Cancer Therapy Centre Under Capital Expenditure Plan

The Assam government has approved the establishment of a proton beam cancer therapy facility in the state. The project forms part of a broader capital expenditure initiative announced by the government. The plan spans multiple sectors including healthcare, education, roads, power, housing, and industrial infrastructure. Proton beam therapy is an advanced form of cancer treatment that targets tumours with greater precision than conventional radiation. The approval signals Assam's push to expand specialised medical infrastructure for its residents.
