Nandita Gorlosa, the Assam Minister for Sports and Youth Welfare, gave money to Dima Hasao Durga Puja committees. At a ceremony in the Deputy Commissioner’s conference room, checks totaling Rs. 10,000 were given to 51 committees. NCHAC Principal Secretary Partha Jahari, ACS, District Commissioner Munindra Nath Ngatey, and NCHAC Executive Members Donphainon Thaosen and Probita Johori were present at the distribution. According to the minister, the MLA fund would be used to support the remaining committees. “As in previous years, each Puja committee will also receive Rs. 10,000 from CEM Debolal Gorlosa and an additional Rs. 10,000 from his side for committees under his Haflong constituency,” EM Donphainon Thaosen added.
Speaking to the assembly of general secretaries and presidents of puja committees from Haflong, Maibang, Umrangso, and Harangajao, Minister Gorlosa stressed safety and unity while calling for orderly and peaceful celebrations. As he extended his congratulations, EM Thaosen expressed his hope that the Puja pandals would be handled carefully and described the council’s contribution as a little show of support. DC Ngatey urged all committees to continue being watchful in order to avoid any unfortunate events and preserve the celebrations’ sacredness.
