Assam Government Inspects Bhupen Hazarika’s Kolkata Home for Memorial Plans
An Assam government team recently visited Bhupen Hazarika's former residence in Kolkata to explore preserving part of the property as a memorial during the singer's birth centenary. The building, now owned by multiple families unrelated to Hazarika, has posed challenges for memorial plans. Officials hope to collaborate with the West Bengal government, particularly under Suvendu Adhikari's administration, to renovate and honor Hazarika's legacy, which spans Assamese, Bengali, and Hindi music.
