People in large numbers thronged the stadium to participate in the event and express their gratitude to the Prime Minister as well as other leaders who have played a key role in the transformation of the Bodo heartland.
BTR Chief Pramod Boro sharing his thoughts on the occasion said, “Everyone has accepted the fact that peace has now prevailed in BTR and it should be permanent. To celebrate this occasion everyone is here and also to thank PM Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah as well as Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. For that we are organizing this Thanksgiving program. We are celebrating peace today.”
