Ram Prasad Narzary and Sanjay Basumatary, two workers from Assam who were rescued from the tunnel in Uttarakhand, have finally returned home to Kokrajhar in lower Assam.
They got a warm reception with MLA Lawrence Islari and BTC Executive Member Reorewa Narzari joining a crowd of well-wishers at their residence in Ramfalbil.
The BTR government has announced employment opportunities to them. Additionally, the Assam government has extended financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh each, while the BTR government decided to provide them with a mobile tea stall.
MLA Lawrence Islari said that these initiatives would ensure that Narzary and Basumatary won’t have to seek work elsewhere.
