Vandana Urang

An 18-year-old girl student from upper Assamโ€™s Dibrugarh district will take over chief minister Sarbananda Sonowalโ€™s Twitter handle on Friday.

Chief minister Sonowal will hand over his Twitter account to Vandana Urang, a student from Namrup College, in a symbolic gesture to support childrenโ€™s empowerment and participation.

Vandana, who hails from the Namroop Tea Estate in Dibrugarh district, is a BA 1st-semester student at Namroop College.

She will take over the CMโ€™s Twitter account between 9 โ€“ 11 am on Friday and shall share her opinion on #Reimagining Education in Assam, in a post-pandemic world.

Sonowal, who will be attending a crucial BJP State election meeting at that time with party president J P Nadda and other party leaders, is kind enough to allow Vandana to use his Twitter handle.
