Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reviewed the final preparations for the inauguration of the Swahid Smarak Khetra, a memorial dedicated to the martyrs of the Assam Agitation. Scheduled for December 10th, Swahid Divas, the sprawling complex features water bodies, an auditorium, and a sound and light show.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited the Swahid Smarak Khetra (Martyrs' Column) at Boragaon and reviewed the final preparations ahead of the inauguration of this iconic structure on 10 December, observed as Swahid Divas.

It may be noted that the foundation stone of the Swahid Smarak Khetra, laid in 2019, has been built in memory of the martyrs of the Assam Agitation on a sprawling land area covering more than 98 bighas. The project includes facilities such as water bodies, an auditorium, a prayer hall, a cycle track, and provisions for a sound and light show, which will highlight different aspects of the Assam Agitation and Assam's history.

During his visit, the Chief Minister inspected various components of the memorial and took note of the last-minute finishing touches being given to the structure. Accompanied by senior government officials, Sarma assessed the ongoing work and issued specific instructions to ensure the timely completion of all tasks before its inauguration.

The Chief Minister also suggested several measures to enhance the aesthetic, structural, and commemorative aspects of the Martyrs' Column, stating that the site should stand as a lasting symbol of Assam's collective gratitude to the martyrs and as a space for future generations to reflect upon their sacrifices. Sarma reiterated the State government's commitment to preserving the memory of the martyrs of the Assam Movement and ensuring that their contributions remain an inspiration for the people of Assam.

The Martyrs' Column at Boragaon will be formally inaugurated on 10 December, coinciding with Swahid Divas, a day dedicated to remembering and honouring the supreme sacrifices of the martyrs.
