Social worker Jugal Chetia lit a ceremonial lamp and placed a few trowels of concrete at the spot to signify the beginning of the installation process.
Rajib Gogoi, known for his soulful songs that highlighted the struggles of the common man, hailed from Tupsinga Gaon in Sadiya.
He had collaborated with notable Assamese singers such as Krishnamobi Chutia, Neel Akash Das, and Rakesh Reeyan. His popular songs include Xandhu Kotha, Goree Gorokhia, and Anurag Tumi.
The singer tragically passed away on January 12 this year after collapsing during a performance in Tinsukia, Assam.
The AJYCP’s initiative aims to honour his legacy and inspire future generations through his life and music.
