DHUBRI: In view of recent protest against the renaming of Rupsi Airport as Guru Kalicharan Brahma by the Kamatapuri and Koch-Rajbongshi organisations, formar legislator of Golakganj, Ashwini Roy Sarkar met Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma and submitted a memorandum recently urging him to reconsider and roll back the cabinet decision to rename the Rupsi Air Port as Guru Kalicharan Brahma and let the name of the Airport remain Rupsi.

In the memorandum Sarkar said that the name “Rupsi” holds historical significance and is deeply connected to the sentiments of every member of the Koch Rajbanshi community.
