At a time when Assam reels under coronavirus pandemic, lives of daily wage earners have become miserable. A do-gooder teacher stood by them in this hour of crisis. The headmaster of Wokha Christan LP School under East Education block in Golaghat district, Ratneswar Hazarika, offered food to 30 needy families of Matikhola gaon panchayat, 100km off Bokakhat town in Golaghat district on March 31. We, the teachers, should have a social commitment.”Families of Bijoy Telenga, Bijoy Nayak, Ramen Konwar, Toffique Ali, Baghar Ali, Amulya Kurmi, Poona Bora and other daily wage earners did not know how to react. Hazarika was the secretary of Golaghat District Sahitya Sabha, a district branch of Asam Sahitya Sabha, the apex literary organisation of Assam, for several years.
