Digital Desk: Assam government plans to build a memorial of the great warrior Lachit Borphukan of the Ahom dynasty in the Jorhat district.
The government of Assam has given the engineering and construction company Ahluwalia Contracts (India) a contract for the construction of the Ahom general Lachit Moidam Memorial and Cultural Complex in Lahdoigarh, Jorhat.
The construction company claimed in a regulatory filing to the stock exchanges on Monday that the project is worth Rs 120.23 crore.
The Assam government has decided to establish a cultural center to honor and preserve the heroism of Ahom general Lachit Borphukan.
Meanwhile, the week-long celebration of Ahom general Lachit Borphukan's 400th birth anniversary began on Friday with a march past by various uniformed men and women to honour his heroism and sacrifice in repelling Mughal armies.
The final stage of the celebrations will take place in the national capital, Vigyaan Bhawan, from November 23 to 25.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will launch an exhibition on November 23, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah serving as chief guest on November 24 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi attending the valedictory function on November 25.
Bringing war hero Lachit Borphukan Sarma to the national capital on a major scale is part of the Assam government's efforts to keep the warrior's memory alive both within and outside the state.
Lachit Borphukan led the Ahom army during the historic battle of Saraighat in 1671. Lachit Borphukan and his brave warriors put up a tenacious and formidable opposition to the Mughal invasion of Assam, halting their march.
Lachit Borphukan is regarded as one of India's greatest military heroes.
