Nagaland Group Challenges Assam Eviction Drive Over Disputed Golaghat Land
An eviction drive by Assam's Forest Department targeting 59 families in No. 2 Negheribil, Golaghat district, has sparked tension due to a land dispute. The Nagaland-based Lotha Lower Range Public Organisation (LLRPO) claims the land belongs to Nagaland's Lugayum and Mikirang villages and seeks intervention to halt evictions. Assam residents and local leaders reject this, asserting longstanding settlement since the 1960s. Earlier, 146 families were evicted after notices to 205 families, with remaining evictions paused by court orders.
