A down-to-earth person, Sumit Garodia was loved by all his colleagues, nurse and the staff in Sivasagar Civil Hospital. He was a very hardworking person.

A pall of gloom has descended on the civil hospital on hearing about the Garodia coupleโ€™s tragic death.

The accountant of the hospital Mintu Das said, โ€œWith Sumit Garodiaโ€™s demise, Sivasagar has lost a very efficient doctor. If any kind of emergency case comes up at night, the doctor was just a phone call away. He was very popular even among the patients for his mild nature and his commitment towards his work.โ€

Sumit Garodia, who originally hails from Dibrugarh, was staying with his family in a rented house at Sivasagar.
