Urgent: Assam Government’s Bold Move to Protect Beloved Tea Garden Towns with Construction Ban
In an effort to combat unauthorized construction and land encroachment, the Assam government has imposed a ban on building new houses in major towns like Dibrugarh and Tinsukia. This initiative is part of the state’s firm stand against encroachment, specifically targeting unauthorized individuals and land grabbers, as emphasized in official statements.
Notably, the order exempts the tea garden community, allowing its members to continue building homes and living within designated areas on tea estates. A government representative clarified, “The ban targets only encroachers and does not affect tea garden workers. Our tea garden community, who construct homes in their own designated areas, are not impacted by this measure.”
This policy represents a significant step in preserving the region’s land resources and safeguarding the rights of legitimate residents, while underscoring the state’s commitment to protecting the tea garden workers.
