Guwahati: Rich tributes were paid to eminent social reformer Harekrisna Mahanta, who was the Satradhikar of Sri Sri Borongajuli
Shrimanta Shankardev Satra at Udalguri in central Assam recently when State chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited the Vaishnavite
monastery. The saffron leader offered floral tributes to the portrait and statue of the Satradhikar. He also visited the place where Satradhikar
Mahanta was laid to rest. Later Samra visited the Satra Namghar and prayed for the welfare of all sections of people in the State.
“Satradhikar Mahanta was a glittering star in the social and spiritual landscape of Assam who worked tirelessly for the unity of all people based on the teachings of Jagatguru Shrimanta Shankardev,” said Sarma adding that the government would take necessary initiatives to help Satradhikar Mahanta’s principle remain relevant
among the young people. In presence of State legislative assembly speaker Biswajit Daimari, in-charge Satradhikar Niranjan Boro and other dignitaries, Sarma also
informed the management committee of Borongajuli Satra that the government would take pragmatic steps to protect and preserve the monastery along with its 33 divisions.
Meanwhile, Sarma took stock of the works for household tap connections under Jal Jeevan Mission at Janata Bhawan.
Organized by virtually in presence of PHE minister Ranjeet Dass, Sarma thoroughly reviewed the status of implementation of the mission in
different localities of Assam. He also asked the concerned district magistrates to visit tea garden areas for effective implementation of the mission with
an aim to provide pure drinking water to all families. Sarma also insisted on coordinating with APDCL to connect the un-electrified Anganwadi centres and lower primary schools
with electricity.
