Biswanath: The Biswanath District BJP organised a blood donation camp to mark the 53rd birth anniversary of Assam’s beloved singer and cultural icon, Zubeen Garg. The programme began with party workers and local leaders lighting a lamp in front of Zubeen Garg’s portrait, paying tribute to his contribution to Assamese music and social work. After the brief ceremony, the blood donation camp was formally opened to the public.
More than 100 people stepped forward to donate blood, reflecting strong community participation. MLA of Biswanath, Promod Borthakur, and Behali MLA, Diganta Ghatowar, also visited the venue to encourage the donors. BJP District President Ashim Das, members of the BJP Yuva Morcha, and several party workers were present and actively took part in the event.
Speaking at the camp, the leaders said that organising social welfare programmes on Zubeen Garg’s birthday was a meaningful way to honour his spirit of service and dedication to society. They added that such initiatives help promote awareness about the importance of voluntary blood donation.
Alongside the camp, around 53 Nahor saplings were planted around the premises of the Kamalakanta Natya Samaj, where the event took place. The plantation drive symbolised love and respect for the late artist and aimed to create a greener environment in the area. Party workers expressed hope that the saplings would stand as a living memory of the occasion in the years to come.
