GUWAHATI, July 12 - Sisters Ankita and Antara Nandy enthralled netizens with evergreen Assamese songs in a live concert on Facebook organised by The Assam Tribune on Sunday evening.

One from the audience commented: �Beautiful singing dear girls, glad you are making Assam proud with your talent.� Another viewer said, �I am from Odisha, cannot understand the lyrics but still enjoying your song� superb girls� love you.�
