Nagaon: Eid celebrations brought the joy of togetherness to a family who were separated in 1960 and finally reunited this year through social media in Assam's Nagaon district.
The family was separated after they sold their property in Assam's Kampur Takoubari and moved to Bangladesh's Sunamganj.
Mamtaz Akhtar, who worked in Sunamganj Chambers of Commerce as an IT Officer, visited India in search of her long lost grandfather of whom she had been sharing posts on social media for a very long time.
"I was writing about my family and sharing posts for a very long time but there were no responses. Finally, I found a person who responded to my posts and helped me reunite with my family in Assam," Akhtar said.
A local photographer, Mohammad Shabir Khan helped the woman to reunite with her family in Assam.
She spoke about her father and her extended family who lived in Assam and how she discovered about them only after growing up.
She also said that she was overwhelmed with the fact that she was finally able to see the place-where her elders were born and brought up.
