Community members took a vow for his recovery, expressing hope that he would soon resume his social and political responsibilities.
The prayer gathering saw the participation of several prominent figures, including JMM central committee member Kanhu Samant, Musabani block president Pradhan Soren, secretary Maheshwar Hansda, treasurer Paluram Majhi, ST district president Lovin Sabar, Somay Soren, Gaurang Mahali, Ganesh Tudu, Arjun Mardi, Priyanath Baske, Aman Murmu, Somay Tudu, Sanjivan Patar, Viram Murmu, Mohan Murmu, Dishom Jahergarh Nayak Baba Mukru Hembram, president Arjun Majhi, secretary Subhash Murmu, treasurer Kanhai Murmu, vice president Singrai Hembram, advisory committee members Dhano Murmu, Goda Soren, Gopal Murmu, Shyam Murmu, Mitesh Hansda, Suresh Hansda, Sunil Murmu, RASAA vice president Ganesh Chandra Murmu, and Rajaram, among others from social, religious, political, and tribal organisations.
Messages of concern and solidarity have been pouring in from across the state.

Supporters and well-wishers in Ghatsila, Jamshedpur, and other parts of Jharkhand have expressed optimism that Soren will soon return to public life.
