Guwahati: Assam is set to pay heartfelt homage to its legendary singer Zubeen Garg with a grand tribute and justice rally in Guwahati on Sunday, marking one month since his untimely demise.
The event, scheduled to commence at 10 AM at Lakhidhar Bora Field, Dighalipukhuri, is expected to draw thousands from across the state — including political leaders, social activists, cultural figures, and devoted fans — all uniting to celebrate the life and legacy of the late music icon.
The tribute has been jointly organised by multiple political and social groups, including the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee, CPI (M), CPI, CPI (ML), All India Forward Bloc (Assam Unit), Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), Raijor Dal, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), and Trinamool Congress (Assam Unit) among others.

Zubeen Garg, one of Assam’s most revered and versatile musicians, passed away recently, leaving an irreplaceable void in the state’s cultural landscape. The upcoming tribute rally aims not only to honour his immense contribution to music but also to strengthen the ongoing public demand for justice surrounding his death — a cause that continues to resonate deeply among his admirers across the region.
