Tears rolled down the cheeks of two brothers when they met after a gap of 43 years. It is not a scene from reel life but it happened in real life. Two brothers reunited after a long 43 years on Monday at Kokrajhar Titaguri. NRC verification at Titaguri NSK brought two brothers together after four decades.

53-year old Sukleswar Sutradhar and his younger brother 46-year old Bipin Sutradhar used to live together with their parents at Uttar Bolamguri in Bijni under Chirang district. After the demise of their parents both bothers were separated from each other. Bipin Sutradhar went to Dhemaji and Sukleswar Sutradhar landed in Kokrajhar.

Talking to reporters, Bipin Sutradhar said, “After the death of our parents we got separated from each other and now I have been living with my two sons and two daughters at Simasapuri in Dhemaji district.”

Bipin’s eldest daughter Sunu Sutradhar received notice from NRC for furnishing legacy data from her parents’ linkage.
