Under the banner of the Lakhimpur Kendriya Rongali Bihu Sanmilan, the Rongali Bihu was celebrated with four-day long programmes, but this year it will be held for five days. One of the notable aspects of the Sanmilan is that Goru Bihu is observed in different parts of Lakhimpur with the cooperation of the people of the area to show the younger generation the tradition of Bohag Bihu to preserve our own culture. The committee will also celebrate the ‘Gash Bihu’ in view of environmental conservation.” Celebration committee president Dr. Bhupen Shaikia has sought the cooperation of all the people of Lakhimpur to make the celebration of the festival a success.
