Assam: Extremists Encroach Sri Surya Pahar, Build Religious Structures
Imagine a very old and important hill, like a special place with an old temple and other religious sites.
Some people have moved in without permission and started building things like mosques and schools nearby.
They even changed the name of the area.
These people are originally from another country.
This has raised concerns because it is happening at a place that is considered sacred by many people.
This encroachment occurred during a specific time period when a particular political party was in power.
