A group comprising of 40 heritage enthusiasts from Dhubri town started off their weekend with a Heritage walk that covered the important Heritage Buildings of the Town.

 This was a third successful walk to generate awareness about the existing rich heritage of Dhubri town.  The Heritage trail was organised by Sahapedia, India Heritage Walks in collaboration with the District Museum, Dhubri.

 The 2-km walk began from the Victoria Statue Park at Tetultola, a marble statue measuring 20 feet in height installed by the British rulers in 1905 against the backdrop of the Bengal Partition, and covered 15 destinations of historical importance.

 Bijoy Kumar Sharma, a journalist and social worker of Dhubri led the walk unravelling facts, histories and narratives of the town in lucid detail. Sharma has been very instrumental in creating awareness and safeguarding and protecting the heritage buildings of Dhubri Town since decades.
