Eviction Drives in Dhubri District Lead to Displacement for Industrial Land
What happened
Authorities in Dhubri district, Assam, demolished homes of over 640 Bengali Muslim families, displacing more than 4,000 residents on Sunday. The demolition occurred on 650 bighas of government-owned land in Alamganj Part-IX village. The Dhubri District Commissioner stated that the land is intended for an industrial park, though 150 bighas remain pending court cases.

Why it matters
The action involves the acquisition of significant tracts of government land for industrial development. The District Commissioner stated that the industrial department has been seeking land for this park for two years. Residents, however, dispute claims that they have settled on the land temporarily.
