Goalpara Administration Evicts 73 Families from Agricultural Land in Anti-Encroachment Drive
The Goalpara district administration conducted an eviction drive in five villages, removing 73 families who had settled on agricultural land without proper land classification changes. Officials cited obstruction of natural drainage and water bodies affecting farming and increasing flood risks. Evicted families claimed displacement due to river erosion in Barpeta and said they were unaware of land-use rules. The administration emphasized protecting agricultural land and denied any communal motives, noting occupants came from various districts.
