A STAFF REPORTER TELEGRAPH INDIA
Guwahati, Sept. 28: Residents of Guwahati will be the first in the Northeast
to felicitate Amit Paul — ahead of his hometown Shillong — after his
electrifying performance in the musical reality show, Indian Idol III. The
show ended last week, with the crowning of Darjeeling’s Prashant Tamang.
Paul will be felicitated on Tuesday during the Guwahati Mahotsav 2007 which
starts at the Sonaram Higher Secondary School ground on Sunday.
Amit Paul, who lost out on the Indian Idol crown, will return to his hometown
on October 6 to a grand welcome organised by the Meghalaya government, which
has appointed him the state’s brand ambassador.
“Amit will be felicitated at 6pm on October 2 at the fair ground. Prominent
personalities from Assam and Meghalaya will felicitate him,” said an official
spokesperson of event management group Joya Communications, the organisers of
the event.
He will also be cheering on participants of the TVS College Icon, a singing
talent hunt organised as part of the carnival from October 2 to 6. The contest
will select the best singing talent from among students of colleges in the
city.
The winner of the contest will win a motorcycle and also get the chance to cut
an album with a reputable music company of the state.
Expecting a huge turnout by Amit’s fans at the fair ground on the day of the
celebrations, the organisers have made elaborate security arrangements.
