DIBRUGARH: Sensation prevailed amongst the inhabitants of Romai Tea Estate following recovery of a body of a COVID patient on the footpath near Radha Krishna Mandir here on Monday. The deceased was later identified as Bhim Bhuyan of Romai Tea Estate. Bhuyan was initially admitted at the COVID centre at Don Bosco School on May 28 as a COVID patient. As his condition deteriorated, Bhuyan was rushed to Assam Medical College and Hospital for specialized treatment. His body was found on the footpath near Radha Krishna Mandir, hardly a furlong away from AMC&H. On hearing about the recovery of Bhuyan's body on the footpath, the infuriated tea workers of Romai Tea Estate came out in large numbers and registered their protest against the authority and State Government. The situation turned so tense that authorities had to call paramilitary forces to bring the situation under control.
