Minorities in Darrang district treated worse than prisoners of war, says CPI(M) team after visiting Dhalpur area
CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat said the BJP-led Assam government evicted the people in Darrang district violently because they are Muslims.
One thousand evicted families have been treated worse than prisoners of war and their condition was the “worst nightmare of what a Hindu rashtra’s agenda actually is”, she alleged.
Two people, including a minor, were shot by the police during an eviction drive on September 23 and several others injured. According to the government, these people were encroachers on 77,000 bighas of government land that needed to be freed for an integrated farming project for the indigenous communities.

Microplastics, especially nylon fibres, are present in Chennai’s beach sediments in relatively low abundance, but low overall microplastic abundance does not necessarily imply low ecological risk. Even small particles can cause long-term ecological damage by affecting marine life, moving up the food chain, and eventually impacting human health through contaminated seafood.
