Assam's longest-serving Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, was cremated today after a multi-faith funeral procession, symbolising the cardinal value of ethnic and religious harmony that he always wanted Assam to uphold. Thousands from various faiths thronged to pay their last respects to the late leader, who was Chief Minister of the state from 2001 to 2015. Mr Gogoi passed away on Monday, November 23, at the age of 86 following multi-organ failure due to post-COVID-19 complications.
