Assam CM Advocates Eviction Drives to Curb Illegal Land Occupation

Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has reiterated his government's commitment to continue eviction drives aimed at clearing illegal land encroachments, a move he claims has deterred such activities significantly across the state.

Addressing reporters, Sarma stressed the potential political ramifications of demographic shifts resulting from immigration, urging minority leaders to grasp the importance of staying within their communities to avoid conflict.

He underscored the importance of following Supreme Court protocols for eviction, citing successful drives across districts while warning against immigration-induced demographic changes in constituencies like Goalpara East.
