Assam Evicts Over 1,100 Families from Forest Land in Three Districts Following Court Order
Over 1,100 families, mainly Bengali-speaking Muslims, were evicted from forest land in Assam's Nagaon, Hojai, and Golaghat districts following a Gauhati High Court order to vacate reserve forest areas within 30 days. The government cleared over 638 hectares of encroached land, with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma emphasizing protection of state interests. Residents disputed encroachment claims, citing long-term settlement and alleging mosque demolitions. The operation proceeded without reported violence, and officials indicated it may continue.
