Assam to develop Zubeen Garg’s Samadhi Khetra through special committee

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that the Samadhi Khetra of the late cultural icon Zubeen Garg at Sonapur will be developed under the guidance of a government-approved committee. 

The announcement comes after the successful completion of the singer’s final rites and cremation, which were accepted by all parties involved.

The Public Works Department (PWD) has been tasked with preparing the initial blueprint for the project. A specially constituted committee will oversee the planning process and provide recommendations before the government gives final approval.

The Assam government will review and approve the committee’s suggestions in the coming months, ensuring that the memorial reflects the respect and admiration that Zubeen Garg continues to inspire among his followers.
