Guwahati, July 26 -- Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that without the development of the northeastern region, India's growth would not be complete.

He noted that for the first time since Independence, there are five Central ministers, including two of cabinet rank, from the region and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had visited the northeast 35 times in six years showing how much he values it.

"At the instructions of the Prime Minister, one Central minister visits the northeastern states once in every 15 days," the Home Minister said after launching various projects including laying the foundation stone of the 430-bed Tamulpur Medical College and Hospital in the Bodoland Territorial Region in western Assam.
