I humbly endure to share with you the saddest times of your life though I know that it would be hard to do so and ease the pain you and your family are going through.

Besides proving his calibre in different portfolios, his hard work and dedication made him one of the choicest leaders of the State.

His good deeds, especially his compassionate approach towards the needy, fetched him great name and respect. As a social activist, Late Boham worked on eradicating tattoo on girls of Wancho community. He was also instrumental in resolving boundary disputes amongst villages.
He was known for his high probity in public life and honest politics. He devoted and dedicated his entire life in social work in the remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh and had worked tirelessly for the upliftment of poor, widows, orphans, sick and needy people of region.
A true fighter, he valiantly fought one of the toughest battle – Cancer till his last breath.
