SILCHAR, Aug 16: The 63rd Independence Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm in the Cachar district yesterday. Unfurling the tricolour at the DSA field at Silchar, Urban Development and Planning minister Dinesh Prasad Goala paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and the martyrs of the freedom movement. He said, while the country has progressed in different fields, Asom, too, is not lagging behind. The State is making remarkable progress in the health sector, he said.
Addressing the occasion, Goala said, ‘‘Some extremist groups are trying to destabilize the life of our State with the help of foreign hand. These extremists should shun the path of violence and join the mainstream.’’ The programme kick-started with a relay of patriotic songs. Power tillers were also distributed on the occasion.
Meanwhile, civil SDO Madhumita Chowdhury hoisted the flag in Lakhipur under tight security arrangements in the presence of public and other government officials. It was the first time in Barak Valley that a lady administrative officer hoisted the flag on Independence Day. The Assam Police, NCC Nehru College, Emanual High School, GNV, Ashapalli English School, Union High School, Adit High School and others participated in the Independence Day parade.
