Evicted People Will Be Given Land In Morigaon
DC Ngatey spoke about the eviction drive that is to be carried out in Orang National Park located on the northern bank of the Brahmaputra River in the Darrang and Sonitpur districts.
”It has been observed that many of the people currently residing near the Orang National Park already own lands. They had migrated to the vicinity of the park to engage in cultivation activities. The eviction drive is scheduled to take place from May 29 to May 31,” the DC said.
The DC further said, ”Some individuals who were evicted in the past three to four days have taken matters into their own hands by voluntarily returning to their respective villages. The administration is supporting them in this process by providing boats for transportation.”
Meanwhile, Dalgaon MLA Mazibur Rahman expressed his gratitude towards Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for providing employment opportunities to the individuals before the eviction drive launched.
