On Monday CM Sarma said that the state government is mulling the entry of the Bihu festival in the Guinness World Records.
Talking to reporters in Dibrugarh, he said, “We want to take our Bihu to be recognized globally. It has been planned to arrange a grand Bihu show in the Sarusajai stadium in Guwahati coming April where around 10,000 to 15,000 artists will take part.”
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also expected to be present in Assam to celebrate the Bihu festival this time,” Sarma said.
Moreover, the Chief Minister also announced an ambitious project for the protection, conservation, maintenance, and restoration of the heritage sites of Sivasagar including Rang Ghar, sattras, and monasteries located in the district.
