January 23, 2021 12:15

With a promise to help people get "recognition" for their land, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today distributed land allotment papers to indigenous people in Assam, where election will be held this year.

"It is a matter of sadness that even after so many years since Independence, there are those in Assam who have not got recognition for their land," PM Modi said.

Later, he will fly to Kolkata to inaugurate a permanent museum dedicated to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on the freedom fighter's 125th birth anniversary.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will also address an event in Kolkata on the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji. The election to the legislative assembly in West Bengal is just months away.
