Eviction Drive in North Salmara Suspended Amid Protests

An eviction drive in North Salmara’s Kerkhabari was temporarily halted after residents protested, citing lack of prior notice. The operation aimed to clear 185 bighas for an agriculture research center. Villagers, claiming 40 years of cultivation on the land, opposed the move. This follows recent controversial evictions, including a fatal incident in Sonapur’s Kosutoli, which has drawn widespread scrutiny.
