On Sunday, the Bengali Parishad, Dima Hasao District Committee, organized a heartfelt tribute ceremony in Haflong to honor the untimely demise of the immensely popular singer, actor, and filmmaker, Zubeen Garg, the heartthrob of the new generation. The event took place at the Jagannath Bari premises, attended by members of the Parishad.
Presided over by Rajatkanti Nath, President of the Bengali Parishad’s Dima Hasao District Committee, the tribute included a minute of silence to pray for the eternal peace of the departed soul, floral offerings at Zubeen Garg’s portrait, and the lighting of lamps to express reverence.
Recalling Zubeen Garg’s legacy, Pankajkumar Deb, Vice-President of the Bengali Parishad’s Central Committee and a journalist, remarked, “Today, we are compelled to pay tribute to the portrait of Zubeen Garg, the heartthrob of the new generation, in an unexpected turn of events. His untimely passing has created an irreplaceable void in the music industry, particularly in Assam and the Northeast.

Senior journalist and Parishad advisor Anup Kumar Biswas also spoke, expressing disbelief at Zubeen’s sudden departure to the eternal abode. “Though Zubeen is no longer physically among us, he will remain immortal in the hearts of the people of Assam and India,” he said.
In his address, President Rajatkanti Nath highlighted Zubeen’s towering popularity not only in Assam and the Northeast but also in Tollywood. “Zubeen was celebrated and cherished in Bengal as well,” he added.
