What we know
Eviction drives took place in 2025–26 in districts such as Goalpara and Dhubri. The state's largest forest-land eviction drive was at Uriamghat in July 2025, followed by one in Goalpara in Nov 2025.
Open questions
- How many families were evicted in each drive, and how many were offered somewhere else to live?
- What notice and hearing did families get before their homes were demolished?
- What do the courts and national guidelines require before an eviction?
