Sahudangi Shaheed Bedi Committee Commemorates ‘Shaheed Diwas’ in Rajganj

Rajganj, Jan 25 (Siliguri Journal) – The Sahudangi Shaheed Bedi Committee remembered Jagdish Chandra Roy and Gajan Roy on ‘Shaheed Diwas.’ They bravely fought for the Kamtapuri state and language, and we honor their sacrifice.

On Thursday, Martyrs’ Day (Shaheed Diwas) was observed by laying wreaths at the Shaheed Bedi in Sahudangi More and Jagdish Colony, located in the Rajganj block.

On January 25, 1987, a ‘Rail Roko’ campaign at Altagram railway station sought Kamtapuri statehood and language. Tragically, the firing on protestors led to the loss of lives, including Jagdish Chandra Roy from Sahudangi and Gajan Roy from Dhupguri. Since then, every year on January 25, Martyrs’ Day is observed in their memory.
