Dr Nilut Swargiyary, CEM Pramod Boro and Rajya Sabha MP Rwngwra Narzary also started the plantation of saplings.
In his speech, Pramod Boro said the UPPL came with a commitment to establish peace and ensure equal development to all people of the region. He said there had been fear and apprehension among all sections of the people and many individuals and UPPL supporters were killed due to lack of safety and security. The UPPL was born in a critical situation when no one could speak against any misdeed, wrong doings or wrong decision of the ruling party at that time but people came to support the UPPL looking for a change in the region. He also said the UPPL had seven legislators in the Assam Assembly and a Rajya Sabha MP and it is running the BTC jointly with UPPL, BJP and GSP.
Boro said, “We are fulfilling our commitment to the people and working for equal development. We have reformed the system of administration in the council and checking corrupt practices.” He said the present council government had undertaken several initiatives for sustainable development goals in BTC. He also said the developmental activities had been taking place with various missions in BTC and UPPL will go forward with its commitment. The programme was also attended by EMs and MCLAs of BTC and other senior party leaders.
