BTR Chief Pramod Boro sharing his thoughts on the occasion said, “Everyone has accepted the fact that peace has now prevailed in BTR and it should be permanent. To celebrate this occasion everyone is here and also to thank PM Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah as well as Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. For that we are organizing this Thanksgiving program. We are celebrating peace today.”
