Nagaon : The 13th Foundation Day of the Asomiya Sahitya Sanmilani was celebrated with great enthusiasm and literary fervour today under the initiative of the Nagaon District Committee at Dronacharya Senior Secondary School (Asomiya Sahitya Sanmilani Foundation Day).
The day-long programme began in the morning with the ceremonial hoisting of the Sanmilani flag by District Committee President Dr. Risheswar Thengal Saikia, formally inaugurating the celebrations.
