Authorities in Assam’s Dhubri district have demolished hundreds of homes, displacing residents as part of a large-scale clearance operation. The move follows reports of illegal construction along riverbanks and in ecologically sensitive zones, raising concerns over land rights and displacement. Local officials claim the demolitions aim to enforce environmental regulations and prevent flooding, though residents allege insufficient notice or compensation. The operation has sparked tensions, with questions over whether the process adheres to legal procedures for evictions.
