The Government of Assam has reclaimed nearly 495 acres of government-notified wetland following a lawful eviction drive at Hasila Beel in Goalpara district.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, in a post on his official X handle on Thursday, informed that the eviction was carried out a day earlier. He said the drive reflects the state’s commitment to protecting Assam’s natural ecosystems through fair and legal measures.
