MARGHERITA (ASSAM): The months of January and February were hectic for Harish Saikia and Rubul Chetia of Margherita, a small town at the farthest corner of Assam, not far from the Myanmar border.
The duo were among the almost 13,000 karyakartas of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its sister outfits in the northeast who tried to connect as many households as possible to the mandir movement by contributing for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
