Assam Begins Eviction Drive on 650 Bighas of Land in Dhubri District
Assam authorities launched an eviction drive in Dhubri district to clear alleged encroachments on 650 bighas (about 215 acres) of government land, potentially displacing nearly 550 families. The operation began in Alamganj Part-9, with around 80 families vacating voluntarily. Notices were sent to approximately 700 families, with 150 bighas under court protection. The administration followed a three-month process including hearings and notices. The drive proceeded peacefully with significant deployment of machinery and personnel, pending legal cases may affect future actions.
