KOKRAJHAR: Amidst the apprehension of a second wave of COVID-19, people from all walks of life took part enthusiastically in Rongjali Bwisagu/Rongali Bihu celebration. An open Rongjali Bwisagu/Rongali Bihu function was held on the beautiful hilly terrain at Saralpara along the Indo-Bhutan border on Saturday to foster peace and brotherhood among different sections of people living together.
Saralpara is a hotspot for picnickers in Kokrajhar because of its natural beauty. People have to pass through the thick jungles of Ultapani which have rich flora and fauna and wild elephants. Sarphang of Bhutan is attached to Saralpara but it has not been opened for tourists due to COVID-19.
The messy COVID-19 tests at the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport here have lead to much harassment of air passengers what with the passengers being kept there for hours.
