The party also opposes reducing the eco-sensitive zone around Kaziranga National Park and the acquisition of indigenous land at Engleng Pathar for corporate use. Additionally, APCC is engaged in flood relief efforts and preparing for upcoming elections, while addressing concerns over university appointments linked to ideological affiliations.
