Eviction Drive in Assam Displaces Families Settled Since 1983 Violence, Demolishes Homes and Mosque
In Assam's Lakhimpur district, eviction drives have displaced families settled since the 1983 Assam Agitation violence, demolishing homes and mosques at Bogeenadi PGR. Among those affected are elderly residents like Manik Ali, a local BJP leader, who have faced multiple displacements. The government cites land protection and curbing illegal occupation as reasons, while critics highlight the distress caused to long-settled families. The evictions have sparked protests amid concerns over the treatment of minority communities and the demolition's social impact.
