Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday gave Rs 50 lakh as
ex-gratia to the family of Assam Rifles jawan Suman Swargiary killed on
November 13 in Manipur ambush, and announced that a road will be
constructed in his village and named after him.
After meeting
Swargiary's wife, Jury, at Thekerakuchi Kanhibari village of Assam's
Baksa district, the Chief Minister said he has already asked the PWD
department to take urgent steps for the construction of the road of the
village and the road will be named after the martyr.
A stadium would be built at Hirimba Bodo High School, where Swargiary studied.
Sarma
said that the father of Swargiary, who is survived by his
three-years-old son besides wife, had also been killed by the militants a
few years ago.
