Industrial Park Plan Threatens Livelihoods, Endangers Wetland
Imagine a beautiful wetland called Dorabeel, home to many plants, animals, and people.
The government wants to build a large industrial park there.
This would destroy the wetland, where many people fish, farm, and graze animals.
The local people are worried about losing their homes and jobs.
They also fear the environment will get worse.
The government has heard their concerns and is holding a meeting to decide what to do.
An industrial park is planned on the Dorabeel wetland near Bijoynagar, Kamrup.
The wetland supports diverse species and provides livelihoods for many.
Over 3,000 families who rely on livestock rearing in the grazing field may lose their livelihoods.
Local residents and activists are protesting the park, citing environmental and social concerns.
A public hearing will be held to address objections from local people.
