The Committee for the Preservation of Garo Culture and Heritage, in its first meeting on Tuesday, decided to keep the Garo Labour Corps’ cenotaph at its original site in Lower Babupara in Tura and will be redeveloped with a new design.
The Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills, Jagdish Chelani, and CEO of Tura Municipal Board (TMB), Rikse R. Marak, are in the eye of a storm following the demolition of the World War I Cenotaph in Tura, with the Joint NGOs Forum demanding their removal for the “unforgivable act”.
