Sivasagar administration continues eviction drive to protect historic Jamuna

The Sivasagar district administration continued its eviction drive on November 9 to clear alleged illegal encroachments from the historic Jamuna wetland, with the stated aim of preserving its heritage and original boundaries.

The drive follows sustained demands by the All Tai Ahom Students' Union (ATASU), which had been campaigning for the removal of encroachments from the historic waterbody.

The administration initiated the eviction operation following protests and repeated demands by the organisation.

The ongoing exercise is aimed at restoring the wetland's historical identity and natural environment while protecting its heritage significance.
