GOLAGHAT: Eminent intellectual and writer Dr. Hiren Gohain was honoured with the Martyr Kushal Konwar Award–2026 at a programme organised by the Golaghat District Committee of the Tai Ahom Yuva Parishad (TAIPA) in collaboration with its Women’s Wing. Unable to attend due to health reasons, Dr. Gohain sent a written message that was read out by Pikumoni Dutta. In his address, he expressed gratitude for the award, noting that it was especially meaningful because it came from Golaghat, a place closely linked to his childhood memories.
