| Assam Government Carries Out Massive Eviction Drive To Clear 1900 Hectares Of Govt. Land |
Guwahati: The ongoing eviction drive in the Char-Chapori area under the Burhachapori wildlife sanctuary in the Sonitpur and Nagaon districts of Assam is a significant effort to clear around 1,900 hectares of government land from illegal encroachment. The drive began on Tuesday and is scheduled to continue until Thursday. To ensure the safe and smooth conduct of the operation, over 2,000 security personnel, including paramilitary, home guards, CRPF, and Assam police have been deployed in the area. At least 50 excavators and 30 tractors have also been deployed to clear the encroached land.
According to officials, many people have been illegally occupying government lands in the area, and the administration had given them notice to leave one month ago. Most of the encroachers had already left after the eviction notice was given. As many as 2,500 houses, mosques, and illegal school buildings have encroached on the land near the Burhachapori wildlife sanctuary.
It's worth noting that similar eviction drives have recently taken place in other parts of Assam.
On January 10, a massive eviction drive was carried out in the Pabho reserve forest in the Lakhimpur district to clear around 500 hectares of forest land. Heavy security was deployed in the area, and the district administration used excavators and tractors for the operation. On December 26, the district administration of Barpeta carried out a massive eviction drive against encroachers at the Baghbar Satra Kanara area where some people had encroached on nearly 400 bighas of government land.
The government of Assam has been taking strong action to remove encroachers from government land to ensure the conservation of wildlife sanctuaries and forests, protect the environment, and maintain law and order.
