    Digital Desk: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will visit
    Bangladesh once more to strengthen the long-standing ties between the two
    countries. In reference to Assam's contribution to the 1971 Bangladesh
    Liberation War, which was fought by Bangladesh's Mukti Bahini and Indian
    forces, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted, "Nine heroic
    Assamese warriors shed their lives in the Bangladesh Liberation War, a historic
    event. Some Assam Police officials instructed and outfitted Mukti Bahini
    members.



    This
    happened as the Chief Minister was speaking with a group of 25
    "Muktijoddhas" who were spending three days in Guwahati and Shillong.

    visit is part of #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav and Swarnim Vijay Varsh celebrations
    coordinated by High Commission of India in Bangladesh & Act East Policy
    Affairs, GoA," Sarma tweeted after greeting the team on Monday night.

    anniversary of India's freedom.
