Unfurling the tricolour at the Assam Rifles ground here Sarkar said, "We are not complacent that there is no remnant of insurgency. It was not completely crushed though peace has restored and people were seeing the sign of prosperity. I once again appeal to them who are still roaming with guns to return home and bid farewell to arms to build up a prosperous state."
The chief minister said the state government's main priority is to build a prosperous and developed state where people live with communal harmony.
Sarkar appealed to the Central government for further improvement of bilateral relation with the neighbouring Bangladesh for improvement of connectivity of the country's north eastern region through Bangladesh.
He also received the salute and guard of honour from the state security forces and central paramilitary forces.
