JAMUGURIHAT: Madhuri Ahotor Tolor Mukoli Bihu, the first open stage Bihu of the state, is set to observe 108 years of existence this year. The Bihu celebration will begin on the first day of Bohag and continue for seven days. The first day's programme will begin with the hoisting of the flag, followed by various traditional games and Bihu dance and other competitions. Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma had visited the Bihu site last year and allocated a financial grant of two crore rupees for the construction of the cultural complex. The primary works of the proposed cultural complex are underway.
