The Assam government would send 1,000 students from the state as a study tour to Cellular jail in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday.
Participating in the one-day special session of the Assam Assembly, the Chief Minister said that many freedom fighters from Assam and other northeastern states were incarcerated in cellular jails.
Also the one-day special session of Assam assembly was held on the occasion of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. Claiming that the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga campaign’ became a people’s movement, Sarma said “we received unprecedented response across the state”.
