The Lakhimpur district administration is all set to carry out a major eviction drive at Pabha De Reserve.
The exercise will carry out operations in the area from January 10.
According to the reports, CRPF and police officials have been arranged by the administration ahead of the eviction drive in the area.
A land of a total of 501 hectares will be evicted from encroachers as per the order of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Moreover, the state government will continue the eviction drive in order to make the government land free from the Chief Minister
The Nagaon district administration launched a massive eviction campaign in four villages in December to purge allegedly encroaching plots of public land.
An eviction drive has also been carried out in Goalpara on January 6.
Speaking to the media, CM Sarma said, “This government will be with the law of the land…we don’t want vote, hence it is better to stay with the law.”
Further, the chief minister claimed that he has asked the MLAs of the Goalpara district to find a middle way so that the people could be reallocated as the forest land will have to be protected from being encroached.
“They will have to discuss the matter with the administration and the high court to find out a way to save the people…without thinking of an alternative if the legislators walk up to the high court it would not help any people from the eviction drive,” he added.
