Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) President and Assam Minister Atul Bora visited Swahid Smarak Kshetra, Pacchim Boragaon in Guwahati on Saturday, jointly with a delegation team from the All Assam Students' Union (AASU), to assess the progress of the construction works on the project.
Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said that Swahid Smarak Kshetra will become a pilgrimage to honour the sacrifice of those who laid down their lives during the Assam Agitation.
Replying to a query on renaming Karimganj district as Sribhumi, Assam CM told reporters, "I think they can criticise me, but why are they criticising Rabindranath Tagore? In Assam, why a district should be named after an unknown person? It should have been changed long back."
