THE Assam government on Tuesday launched a massive eviction drive at Uriamghat in Golaghat district to clear 11,000 bighas of land under encroachment at a reserve forest bordering Nagaland.
The exercise concluded peacefully. Authorities deployed a large number of police and forest personnel along with over 150 excavators.
A senior forest department official told this newspaper, "more than 20%" of the land was cleared. A majority of the illegal settlers had vacated the place after receiving notices from the government.
