Speaking on the occasion of the 77th Independence Day celebration at Veterinary College Field, Khanapara in Guwahati, CM Sarma said,” To end polygamy in the state, our government has decided to bring a strong law soon. Our government had formed an expert committee under the chairmanship of Justice (Retd.) Rumi Phukan to end polygamy.”
