Margherita, August 6, 2019:

Margherita MLA Bhaskar Sharma's Fanclub has handed over a cheque of Rs. 11,41,000 to Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal at his office in the afternoon on Tuesday.

It is to be mentioned that the MLA also donated his one month's salary towards the flood relief efforts of the Assam Government.

The MLA, along with members of the Fans Club handed over the amount directly to the Chief Minister.

It may be mentioned that earlier in July, Margherita MLA Bhaskar Sharma’s ‘Fans Club’ had started a fund-raising programme for the flood affected people of Assam at various locations across the Assembly constituency and were able to collect the sum at the end of their collection drive.

The fund-raising programme was headed the Fans Club’s Chief Convenor, as well as Social media and Media Cell Advisor Rupam Baruah as well as many other dignitaries of the area.

Speaking to Inside Northeast, Rupam Baruah had said: “We began this initiative yesterday, and we have collected Rs. 50,000 thus far, along with other materials and eatables. We are thankful for the support we are getting and we hope to hand over what we manage to collect to the Chief Minister himself.”
