Dispute Over Tribal Land Eviction in North Tripura District

Imagine some families have lived on their land for a long time.

Someone says they have to leave because of a new project, but the families don't have official paperwork for the land.

A leader named Pradyot Debbarma says this is unfair and that the families are being pushed off their land for outsiders.

The government says there is no eviction happening and that the land owner was already paid to allow a gas pipeline to be built underground.

The owner wants more money now, but the government can't give it to them because it is a reserved forest area.

The government has also tried to talk it over with the owner but they haven't shown up to the meetings.
