Guwahati: The Assam Trinamool Congress paid a visit to the Silsako eviction campaign victims on Wednesday in Guwahati and demanded that the displaced individuals be immediately resettled.
According to a press release from the party, a delegation team headed by TMC media department chairman Dilip Kumar Sarma visited the city’s evicted area to assess the victims’ condition.
The delegation team gave sustenance to the vulnerable individuals.
Dilip Sarma denounced the government’s inhumane action after seeing the predicament of the defenceless people.
Sarma said, “Today, the BJP government is oppressing the indigenous people in an inhumane way. They didn’t even give time to the evicted people to take out their required items from the home.”
“The government should show us by evicting the neighbouring states who have encroached on our lands at border area,” he added.
He further said, “The HSLC and HS examinations are going on. The government doesn’t have time to track how many students are in difficult situations due to this eviction.”
“We condemn this inhumane act and demand for immediate resettlement of the displaced people,” Sarma said.
Yesterday, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took to Twitter to announce about of proposed project in Silsako lake to make it the largest of Assam.
He said, “Assam will soon have the largest lake at Silsako. A spectacular model of the proposed Silsako lake has been designed and it will add to the scenic grandeur & ease the perennial artificial flooding in Guwahati.”
It may be mentioned that last Monday, authorities conducted an eviction drive at Silsako and forcibly removed around 300 families and destroyed two temples to prevent the encroachment of government land in the state.
On the other hand, CM Sarma instructed DC of Kamrup (Metro) to take necessary measures to shift Hotel Zinger, and other such institutions.
