Popular singer Zubeen Garg will be cremated with full state honours on Tuesday at a village near Guwahati, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Sunday. The decision to cremate Zubeen at Kamarkuchi NC village was taken during a Cabinet meeting, considering the family's wish that his last rites be performed at a place in or around Guwahati, he said at a press conference. Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi has urged the state government to preserve Zubeen Garg's paternal home in Jorhat and institute an award in his memory to encourage new talent.
