In addition, the meeting appealed to the Centre to posthumously award Zubeen Garg with the highest civilian Award, recognising his unparalleled contributions to music, culture, and society.
The AGP also called upon the Assam Government to take steps to immortalize the memory of the legendary artiste by preserving his vast body of work through scientific methods, ensuring that future generations can cherish his creations.
