Assam Govt Defends Land Allotment for Cement Plant

A cement company in Assam got a large piece of land, but the court is asking questions.

The court is concerned about the impact on tribal communities and the environment.

The Assam government says the land size is reasonable for the project and worries about scaring away investors.

The court is giving people a chance to respond to the government's explanations.

The cement company plans to build a factory and needs the land for various purposes, including a green belt and a solar plant.
