The All Bodo Students Union ( ABSU ) has observed the “31st Bodoland Martyr Day” at Borpukhuri, Gohpur in commemoration of those who have laid down  their valuable lives for the existence and self determination through creation of separate state Bodoland.

During the six year Bodoland movement from 1987-1993, 1135 Bodo people were martyred by the then state and non state actors of Assam out of which 535 were from Gohpur.

On the 12 June 1987 Sujit Narzary a class IX student was killed by the Anti-Bodoland miscreants while returning from democratic non violent rally held at Judge Field Guwhati.

As it was the 1st incident of the Bodoland movement, since then the Bodo community declared the day as the Bodoland Martyr Day and have been observing every year to commemorate the entire martyrs for the cause of  Bodoland State.
