The memorial, dedicated to martyr Sujit Narzary, stands as a tribute to those who participated in the Bodoland movement and serves as a reminder of their contribution to the region’s history.
The foundation stone of the memorial was laid on August 5, 2022, during Pramod Boro’s tenure as Chief Executive Member of the BTR.
The project was undertaken to create a permanent place of remembrance where people can honour the martyrs and learn about their role in the Bodoland movement.
Speaking on the occasion, Boro said the completion of the memorial had fulfilled the vision behind the project and described it as a symbol of gratitude and respect for those whose sacrifices contributed to peace and development in the region.

He added that the courage and determination of the martyrs would continue to inspire the people of Bodoland in their pursuit of peace, unity and progress.
Several UPPL leaders, party workers and supporters accompanied Boro during the visit.
The party said the memorial would serve not only as a place of remembrance but also as a source of inspiration for younger generations to understand the history of the Bodoland movement and the sacrifices made in pursuit of a better future for the region.
