Guwahati: Assam Governor Prof. Jagdish Mukhi celebrated Diwali with the BSF Jawans at Sutarkhandi Border Outpost along Indo-Bangla border.

He also lauded the jawans and said that they are acting as the lights of fearlessness and dedication and instilling the sense of security among the people living along the international border.
