Union Home Minister Amit Shah today (May 1) dedicated the newly-named Bodofa Upendranath Brahma Marg besides also unveiling a 9-foot-tall statue of the iconic Bodo leader in Kailash Colony, New Delhi.
The function, which was also attended by Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister of Delhi Rekha Gupta, BTC Chief Pramode Boro along with other invitees, coincided with the 35th death anniversary of the Bodo leader who is hailed as the Father of the Bodo community.
The 35-metre-wide stretch of the Lala Lajpat Rai Marg in South Delh was renamed after the iconic Bodo social activist to honour his contribution towards uplifting the Bodo community.
