Encroachers of Lumding Reserve Forest on Govt sight after Gorukhuti, says CM
A month after a violent eviction drive that claimed two lives, the Assam Government has taken the counselling route to remove encroachers from State-owned land.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the encroachers of the Lumding Reserve Forest in central Assam were now on the Government’s radar after those in northern Assam’s Gorukhuti.
On September 23, the police shot two Bengali Muslims when an eviction drive in the Dhalpur area of Gorukhuti turned violent. One of the two killed was a minor.
