JAGIROAD, Nov 13: The body of Chanerika Chouhan, a 31-year-old resident of Hatiamukh Pathar village under Baghjap Gaon Panchayat in Jagiroad co-district was brought back to Assam from Orissa through the ‘Shraddhanjali Scheme’ of the Government of Assam and handed over to his family on Wednesday.
Chanerika, son of Sukdev Chouhan was traveling by train to Kerala when he was found dead on the tracks in Orissa on November 9. The recently launched Shraddhanjali Scheme facilitates the repatriation of bodies of economically backward persons who die in any other state of India at government expense.
