flag Assam began a peaceful eviction of 600 families from forest land in Goalpara, following court orders and prior notice.

flag The Assam government began a large-scale eviction drive on November 9, 2025, in Goalpara district’s Dahikata Reserve Forest, targeting nearly 600 families allegedly encroaching on over 376 acres of forest land. flag The operation, conducted peacefully with security forces and heavy machinery, followed Gauhati High Court directives and prior notice to residents, with about 70% of affected families having already vacated. flag Officials cited forest conservation and reduced human-wildlife conflict as key reasons, part of a broader campaign since 2021 under Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to reclaim encroached land, primarily affecting Bengali-speaking Muslim communities. flag The state claims over 42,500 acres cleared since 2021, with nearly 950,000 acres still under alleged encroachment.
