AIUDF leader opposes Nagaon eviction drive as administration moves to clear 6,000 bighas

A major eviction drive launched by the Doboka administration on January 2 in the Jamunamukh Maudanga Reserved Forest area of Nagaon district has sparked political resistance, with All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) leader Bilal Uddin attempting to obstruct the operation.

The eviction exercise seeks to reclaim nearly 6,000 bighas of reserved forest land that officials say has been illegally occupied over the years. According to the administration, around 1,250 families are affected by the drive, which is being carried out as part of a broader effort to protect forest land and enforce government regulations.

Tensions escalated on the ground as police and district officials moved in to clear the encroachments, with protests and objections raised by the AIUDF leader and local residents. Heavy police deployment has been made in the area to maintain law and order during the operation.

Administrative officials said the situation remains under close watch, and necessary measures have been put in place to prevent any untoward incidents. They reiterated that the eviction drive is aimed at safeguarding reserved forest land and is being conducted in accordance with legal provisions.
