ITANAGAR, Nov 15: The Galo Welfare Society today mourned the demise of Tamar Doyom, a business icon and senior citizen of Upper Subansiri district who passed away on November 13 at Daporijo. He was an octogenarian and was suffering from multiple illnesses for a long time.
Late Doyom laid the foundation stone of entrepreneurship in Upper Subansiri district at a time when the profession was only known to people of other states. He is the man who pioneered and inspired the locals for establishment of  contemporary businesses as income generating avenues and for self sustenance. He was himself an institution of hard work, dedication and business caliber and was a role model for many local entrepreneurs of the district. The Upper Subansiri district is one of the only districts in the State where local people run their own shops and hotels unlike other districts of the State, the GWS said.
In his demise, the Galo community has lost a true stalwart and pioneer; the business community has lost a guiding light. His immense contributions for the local business community of Upper Subansiri district and Galo community in particular will always be remembered for generations, the GWS said in a statement today.
