GUWAHATI, Dec 2: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday pledged to build ‘Bor Asom’ or Greater Assam, inclusive of all communities.
He made the remark as the state celebrated ‘Asom Diwas’ to commemorate the arrival of Chaolung Sukapha, the founder of the Ahom kingdom, in Assam in 1228 AD.
“On this day, Swargadeo Chaolung Sukapha came to Assam, laying the foundation of our land and legacy. As we observe #AsomDiwas, we pledge to continue building the Bor Asom as he envisaged ~ proud, strong, and united,” the chief minister posted on X.
