Remembering Nitya Bora

Jorhat, Apr 22: Renowned writer, critic, and journalist Nitya Bora has sadly passed away at the age of 83 in a private hospital in Jorhat.

For the past six months, Bora had been battling health issues related to high blood pressure. Initially, he was admitted to a private facility in Guwahati but was later transferred to Jorhat for continued care under the guidance of a relative who is a physician at Jorhat Medical College.
