    Digital Desk: Noted Assamese poet Nilamani Phookan passed away on Thursday as a result of age-related ailments.

    He died today at 11.55 a.m. at Guwahati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH).

    Phookan was admitted to the GMCH in critical condition last night and was being treated.

    Earlier today, Superintendent of GMCH Abhijit Sarma stated that the renowned poet was being treated by at least four departments. Cardiology, neurology, anaesthesia, and medicine are among the four departments.

    Phookan was referred to GMCH from Sanjeevani Hospital on Wednesday night for advanced treatment.

    Sarma stated that he had septic shock and that it had spread throughout his body, putting him in danger.

    To cure the infection, he was administered with antibiotics.
    Earlier this year, famed Assamese poet Nilamani Phookan earned the highest literary honour, the 'Jnanpith Award,' at a function at Guwahati's Rabindra Bhawan.

    In December 2021, he received the Jnanpith Award, making him the third Assamese person to earn it.

    Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam, handed the prize to the acclaimed poet. Notably, the prizes were handed in Assam for the first time.

    The author received the honour for his lifetime contribution to writing. Birendra Kumar Bhattacharyya and Mamoni Raisom Goswami have previously won the honour.

    Taking to Twitter, CM Sarma wrote, "Sharing a memorable moment from this evening’s Jnanpith Award, 2021 distribution ceremony where Kabya Rishi Nilamani Phookan recites a few thought-provoking lines from one of his creations."

    Nilamani Phookan’s notable works include Surya Henu Nami Ahe Ei Nodiyedi, Gulapi Jamur Lagna, and Kobita.

    He was awarded the 1981 Sahitya Akademi Award in Assamese for his poetry collection, Kavita (Kobita). He was awarded the Padma Shri by Government of India in 1990 and received the Sahitya Akademi Fellowship, the highest literary honor in India, given by Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters in 2002.
