Assam Activist Doley Detained Under NSA After Bail

Assam Activist Doley Detained Under NSA After Bail

Pranab Doley is a leader who fights for the rights of people living near a famous wildlife park in Assam.

He was arrested in July for protesting a new hotel that could hurt the park.

A court said he should be free and let him talk with others about the problem.

But the state government said he might cause trouble again, so they used a special law to keep him in jail.

Now he is stuck in jail even though the court said he could go home.

The court wants the people, the government, and the hotel builders to talk peacefully instead of using the police.

The government says the law is needed to keep everyone safe.

The court says the law should not silence people who care about the environment.

The story shows a clash between the government and activists over how to protect the park and the people who live there.
