On the occasion of this very special day, Pradip Kumar Bhuyan and Banti Bhuyan are conferred with Lachit Award by Tai Ahom Yuba Parishad (TAYPA) at Sankaradeva Kalashetra in Guwahati today. Notably, the Bhuyan family is the one whose consistent efforts made the NRC update a reality in Assam.

As stated by TAYPA, the couple rightly deserves to be felicitated with the title as they through their act of heroism and true patriotism for the state have proved that they are worth being resembled the legendary Lachit Barphukan.

At this point, it has to be mentioned that it is their untiring effort, dedication, and sacrifice that has made the NRC update a reality today.
