On the morning of 22nd February, before addressing a massive rally of supporters at Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh, Shri Narendra Modi met the families of the two deceased party workers of Dibrugarh district, who had lost their lives while returning after attending the BJP rally in Guwahati.
Shri Modi extended his and the Party’s condolences to the bereaved families and stated that the BJP had provided financial assistance to the families of the karyakartas.
The State BJP had given Rs. 1 lakh to each of the deceased’s families on 16th February, while the families of other deceased or missing workers were given ad hoc financial assistance for treatment or tracing of the missing members.
The party workers who lost their lives are Late Gupi Gogoi and Ananta Hazarika, while Sri Moheswar Kharia went missing after the rally, and is still untraceable.
After meeting the bereaved families, Shri Modi tweeted:
