Massive Eviction Push in Barak Valley Forests

In a big move to protect forests, the Forest Department started a large eviction drive in Barak Valley. This happened on Monday in the Damchera area, which falls under the Gharmora Reserve Forest in Hailakandi district. Teams from the department worked hard to clear out people who had settled there without permission. Local folks say this is part of a wider effort to stop illegal activities in the forests.

The operation involved many officials and security personnel to make sure everything went smoothly. They removed temporary structures and warned residents to leave. The goal is to save the green cover and wildlife in the area, which has been facing threats from such settlements. Authorities believe this will help bring back the natural balance in the reserve.

People living nearby have mixed feelings. Some understand the need to protect the environment, while others worry about where they will go next. The department has promised to handle things fairly and follow the rules. More such drives might happen in other parts of Barak Valley soon.

This step shows how serious the government is about conserving forests amid growing concerns over deforestation. Stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
