Zubeen Garg, a celebrated Bollywood and Assamese singer, died on September 19. The Assam government has approved the allotment of 10 bigha (approx 6.2 acres) land in Kamarkuchi near Guwahati, where the government will construct a memorial for the singer. The last rites of Zubeen will be performed on September 23 at the same location. The decision was taken after discussions with the late singer's family. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed that the funeral will take place at Kamarkuchi village in Sonapur and announced that the state government will also construct a memorial for the cultural icon at the site.
