Last week, a person, including police personnel, was killed and several injured including police personnel after a police personnel were set on fire during violent clashes between protesters and officials at the site of a large -scale eviction drive in Golpara district of Assam last week.
A eviction campaign was organized on July 12 to clean 140 hectares of forest land in Pikan Reserve One in Golpara district, in which the houses of about 1,080 families were bulldozold. The eviction took place without an incident. Even after eviction, many of the affected families continued to stay on the site in Tarplin tents such as velvet arrangements, saying that they were not to go anywhere else.
On Thursday morning, these affected families suffered violent confrontation with police and forest forces when officials came to remove these structures.
“The forest team and the police were regularly patrolling in the eviction area, and the local people attacked the people on the official duty. About 10 constables were injured, and there have also been property damage, which we are stocking. They had to use force to dispersed people, which included firing.
Around 1,000 security personnel were deployed during the expulsion operation. He said, “After eviction, we withdrew some armies. Now we have gathered additional forces. One and police teams are coming into conflict with the local people when they try to close the entry routes at the eviction site,” he said.
Golpara Bedkhali was the latest in a series of expulsion held in the state last month, affecting four districts, where more than 3,300 people have been evicted. This week, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that about 50,000 people have been extracted from about 160 square kilometers of land since his government took over in 2021.
