AIKS stages demonstration

DIBRUGARH, July 29: The order to evict more than hundred families in Jokai Samguri Bongali Gaon here has earned the ire of the Dibrugarh unit of All India Krishak Sabha (AIKS).
The regional unit of AIKS held a demonstration in Dibrugarh today. They are demanding the withdrawal of the order and the allotment of land to the affected families.
The families concerned have been residing in the village, which falls under Mancotta Khanikar mouza in Dibrugarh West Revenue Circle, for more than three decades.
The organization stated that, the concerned land was earlier a grazing field but was allotted to the poor families under minimum needs programme after being turned into ceiling land way back in 1975. Many of these families have lived on the land since the pre-Independence era, they added. While criticizing the order to evict these farmers, the Sabha demanded that they should be issued land pattas.
