Meanwhile, Nanda Kirati Dewan, national secretary (youth affairs), Bharatiya Gorkha Parisangha, requested Assam minister Atul Bora to rename Barpathar Sukuli Mirigaon Hatighuli Road as Shaeed Padam Bahadur Shrestha Road.

“The minister assured us that the state government will look into the matter and he would personally place the demand in the Cabinet meeting,” Dewan shared.

“All Assam Gorkha Students Union (AAGSU) vice president Prem Newar requested minister Bora to erect a life size statue of martyr Shrestha at Barpathar, the nearest home town of the martyr and the minister assured of considering it,” Dewan further informed.
