Its official. Pramod Boro is dead. The socking news has come from GMCH where the KMSS activist breathed his last at 4-20 in the afternoon five hours after he was rushed from Dispur following serious burn injuries.Immediately after he was rushed to GMCH, the authorities provided him with best possible treatment.
