Supreme Court to Hear Plea Against Assam Demolitions

Supreme Court to Hear Plea Against Assam Demolitions

The Supreme Court is looking into a case about whether officials in Assam, India, followed the rules when they kicked people out of their homes and knocked them down.

Some people are upset because they say they didn't get enough warning before losing their homes, and they think the officials targeted a specific group of people.

The court will decide if the officials broke any laws and if they treated everyone fairly, especially those who have lived in the area for a long time.

The residents claim that the authorities did not provide them with individual notices before the demolition.

The case raises questions about how the government should handle land disputes and evictions.
