Modi is scheduled to address a huge gathering on the occasion.

More than 4,00,000 people from the BTAD districts and other parts of Assam are expected to attend the programme.

The third Bodo Accord was signed with all the four factions of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) and the All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU) which had been demanding a separate state for the Bodos.

The historic Accord was signed on January 27 this year in New Delhi in presence of union home minister Amit Shah and top leaders of the Bodos.

Prime Minister Modi in a tweet termed the signing of the Accord a historic step for ushering in lasting peace in Assam’s Bodoland and in the state as a whole.
