Abhayapuri: Along with the rest of the state, Abhayapuri too observe Swahid Divas with heartfelt tributes and community participation. The programme at Borghola was organised by the Abhayapuri Legislative Assembly Constituency (LAC) Committee under the aegis of the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), with the Srijangram Regional Committee also extending support as residents, party workers, and well-wishers came together to pay homage to Assam's brave martyrs.
Addressing the gathering, AGP Central General Secretary and former MLA Bhupen Roy stressed the need to pay respect to the state’s heroes. He termed the state government’s initiative of constructing the ‘Swahid Smarak Kshetra’ as a historic step that will preserve the legacy of the martyrs among future generations. The memorial is not a structure but a perpetual epitome of courage, which shall go on inspiring the Assamese community, Roy added.
Moreover, the event reiterates that remembering the martyrs is important in fostering cultural identity and a spirit of bravery and unity among the youth. The event concluded with community members pledging responsibility to uphold the values the martyrs fought for.
The solemn yet inspiring observance of Swahid Divas in Abhayapuri signifies the commitment of the community to the cause of remembering the past, while continuing with sacrifice and resilience.
