Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had announced yesterday that 10 bighas of land will be dedicated for Zubeen Garg’s cremation site, marking a special tribute to the legendary singer.

Zubeen Garg’s funeral procession will begin tomorrow around 8 AM from the Sarusajai Bhogeswar Baruah Complex, with lakhs of fans expected to accompany him on his final journey.
