To pay tribute to the sacrifices and valour of the Ahom army, the Assam government has of late taken several initiatives which include the building two memorials – one in Guwahati and the other in Jorhat.
On the outskirts of the state capital city, Guwahati where the Battle of Alaboi was fought in the 17th century between the Ahom army and Mughals, a memorial with an estimated cost of Rs 150 crore will be set up.
The main attraction of the memorial would be a 100-feet height Hengang (Ahom sword) right at the centre of the memorial.
At the Battle of Alaboi fought on August 5, 1669, the Ahoms were routed by the Mughals and lost as many as 10,000 soldiers.
Another memorial of Ahom general Lachit Barphukan would be built in Jorhat at an estimated cost of Rs 120 crore.
Lachit Barphukan is revered as one of the greatest military heroes of India.
