APHLC Protests KAAC Over Tribal Land and Sixth Schedule Violations
A group called APHLC and others marched in Diphu, Assam to protest how the local government, KAAC, is handling land.
They're worried the government is giving tribal lands to big companies, which they believe is against the law that's supposed to protect tribal people.
The protesters say the government isn't keeping its promises and that they are allowing the tribal communities' land and rights to be taken away.
APHLC led a protest in Diphu against the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC).
Protesters, including AJP president Lurinjyoti Gogoi, voiced concerns about tribal land transfers.
The demonstration focused on accusations that the KAAC is undermining Sixth Schedule protections.
Allegations included the facilitation of land transfers to corporate entities.
