Assam: Republic Day celebration to be observed centrally at the Indo-Bangladesh border in Dhubri district

The Dhubri district administration has decided to observe the district-wise central celebration of Republic Day for the Dhubri District at the Indo-Bangladesh borders.

It was informed that instead of keeping the central Republic Day celebrations in Dhubri district concentrated in the district headquarters, like every year, this year the celebration has been shifted to Indo-Bangladesh borders.

The administration also informed that under the instructions of the State Government, the administration has decided to organize the Republic Day celebrations with the people living in the bordering areas of the district. The district-wise central program of the Republic Day will be held at the Satrashal Higher Secondary School ground in the bordering village of Satrasal.

Meanwhile, the administration was all set to celebrate the Republic day at Raja Prabhat Chandra Baruah Playground, like every year and even invitation letters of the same were distributed. However, the venue was shifted to January 24.

However, the decision of the Administration to shift the venue to a bordering village has got mixed reactions. 

Many felt the celebration should not be limited to the population at Dhubri Town, while many believe that it will be a hurdle for the senior citizens and officials to attend the Republic Day celebration at Satrasal after hoisting their flags at their respective offices at Dhubri Town.
