Families of 2008 Assam serial bomb blast victims demand justice, support

The families of the victims of the October 30, 2008, serial bomb blasts in Assam are expressing disappointment over the government’s alleged lack of support and recognition. Despite receiving initial ex-gratia payments, they feel neglected and forgotten by the authorities. Some family members shared their struggles, with one daughter expressing frustration over the lack of tribute or justice for the victims. The state government had provided compensation to the affected families, but job opportunities were not promised due to legal constraints. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma paid tribute to the victims on social media, but the families are still calling for acknowledgment and support from the government to ensure remembrance and justice for the victims.
