Guwahati: The Nagaon district administration is set to launch an eviction drive at two locations under Hatichong Mouza following reports of encroachment on government grazing reserve land.
Assam Minister Keshab Mahanta and MLA Rupak Sharma, accompanied by district officials, inspected the identified sites ahead of the proposed eviction exercise.
The drive is planned at Government Grazing Reserve No. 72 under Goraimari Pathar Kissam and Government Grazing Reserve Nos. 62 and 63 under Bogoriguri Pam Kissam, all falling under the Nagaon Sadar Revenue Circle.
According to officials, portions of the reserve land have allegedly been encroached upon through the construction of permanent residential structures. Authorities also reported the excavation of ponds within the notified grazing reserve areas.
Officials said notices were issued on July 25, 2025, directing occupants to vacate the land. However, the alleged encroachers did not comply with the directives.
Following the reported non-compliance, the district administration is preparing to carry out the eviction drive in the coming days. Administrative arrangements for the operation are currently underway, officials said.
