The Assam Government has begun eviction drive in Assam in Bura Chapori sanctuary in Sonitpur district for illegal encroachment in the state.
District authorities launched an eviction campaign on February 14 against people who they claimed had “illegally occupied” about 1892 hectares of the wildlife sanctuary’s land.
Post eviction drive at Bura Chapori Reserved Forest (RF) Assam Chief Minister shared a picture of a tiger back to the forest.
“The Big Cat comes back home! Beautiful sightings of not just one but two majestic tigers by our camera traps days after an eviction drive at Bura Chapori RF. (7th & 9th March). We are committed to reclaiming the land which rightfully belongs to Assam’s diverse flora & fauna,” Sarma tweeted.
