Assam Conducts Eviction Drives Clearing Encroached Land in Three Districts
Eviction drives were conducted across Assam's Golaghat, Hojai, and Nagaon districts to clear allegedly encroached land, including reserve forests. In Golaghat, 59 remaining families' homes were demolished after a court ruling, completing the second phase of evictions. Hojai saw 152 households removed and about 525 bighas of land cleared. Residents in Nagaon expressed concerns over shelter and rehabilitation amid the demolitions. Authorities involved included district administrations, Forest Department, police, and CRPF, with ongoing efforts to prevent re-encroachment.
