Villagers Protest Granite Mining in Sacred Hati Utha Hill

Hati Utha Pahar, a culturally vital hill near Mayong, faces destruction as Assam’s government clears granite mining for 20 years. Locals strongly oppose the project, citing environmental harm and cultural loss. The hill, key to flood shelter, worship, and biodiversity, risks obliteration. Despite government claims of limited impact, villagers fear irreversible damage to land, water, air, and their identity.
