In this connection, a public function was organised at the Jayanta Hazarika Memorial Park and the �Bor Pukhuri� in the heart of the town where altogether 60 safai workers under the Mangaldai Municipal Board were felicitated with a letter of citation and a gamusa as recognition to their sincere service in keeping the town neat and clean.
Several distinguished guests, including Mangaldai legislator Gurujyoti Das, Sam Houston State University, USA associate professor Dr Hiranya Kumar Nath and Mangaldai Municipal Board chairman Pratap Bordoloi attended the ceremony.
In their address, the speakers congratulated the safai workers for being feted and attributed their hard work in maintaining cleanliness of the township and offered thanks to the organiser for recognising the service of the underprivileged grassroots workers who are often ignored by the society.
