With the rest of the country, the 126th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was also celebrated at Netaji park in front of Circuit House, Diphu on Monday.
The celebration was organised by the Netaji Conscious Society and participated by school children of various schools.
Deputy Commissioner of Karbi Anglong, Madhumita Bhagawati with the leaders of Netaji Conscious Society placed a garland on the statue of Netaji.
The DC said it is an important day to honour the great leader of the freedom movement.
‘Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose launched the freedom movement to free India from British rule. His ideals and principles should be followed,’ the DC said.
A senior citizen and president of Netaji Conscious Society, Pran Kumar Dutta said Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had raised his own army ‘Azad Hind Fauj' to fight against the British, adding that
Netaji was one of the great leaders during the Indian freedom movement and sacrificed his life for the country.
“It is heartening to know that Netaji was one of the great leaders during the Indian freedom movement, but there is a lack of due respect for this great leader. The present Central government has assured the people to come up with the documents of the disappearance of Netaji, but has failed to do it.”
Students of Binapani High school presented patriotic songs, while a patriotic dance was also performed.
