Daily Bijoy News Naogaon Correspondent:

Sriyukta Babu Sudhir Chandra Biswas (103), Serving Priest, Sri Sri Shutikalitala Mandir, Laskarpur, Naogaon Sadar, Naogaon. The temple is situated on the left bank of river Chota Yamuna, 2 km south of Naogaon town. We walking friends walk past the temple every morning from the city and on our way back we pay obeisance to the temple. And it can be seen that the priest is sitting on the balcony of the temple reciting Srimad Bhagavat Gita. But surprisingly, even though he is 103 years old, he can still read without glasses. Compared to him, in the digital and smart era, will we or the next generation get this quality or ability? So the saying goes "old rice grows". Mr. Babu Sudhir Chandra Biswas said that he was born in 1920 and he has been serving in this temple for the past 17 years. We wish him good health and long life. All of you please bless this priest sir.
