Nagaon Evicts Illegal Structures in Dhing
The Nagaon district administration is clearing illegal structures in Dhing to fix artificial flooding.
They are using manual labor instead of bulldozers to remove ponds and dams that block water flow.
This is happening in several villages over four days.
While people are happy the government is acting, some think the work is too slow and needs more machines.
The goal is to restore natural waterways and help the villages.
Nagaon district administration launched a four-day eviction drive in Dhing to remove illegal structures causing artificial flooding.
The drive focuses on dismantling illegal embankments, ponds, and fisheries that block natural drainage channels.
Manual labor is being used instead of bulldozers due to logistical constraints.
Nearly 500 illegal fisheries spread over 230 bighas of land are being removed.
Residents support the eviction but express concerns about the slow pace and method of the operation.
