Eviction Notices Issued in Assam Over Land Encroachment Claims
The government is asking people to leave certain lands in Assam because it says they are illegally occupying it.
People living there say they didn't take the land by force and that they bought the land from others.
The government wants them to leave soon.
The Chief Minister hopes people will leave voluntarily, rather than having to be forced out.
Eviction notices were issued by the Nagaon Sadar Circle Officer in Hati Chong mouza.
The notices cited encroachment on grazing reserve land, demanding immediate vacating.
Residents claim they did not forcibly occupy land, with some citing lack of formal documents.
Similar notices were issued for Bogoriguri and Goroimari grazing reserves, and other areas.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated voluntary evacuation is preferred over forced evictions.
