Assam is preparing eviction action in two proposed reserve forest areas in Goalpara district after a site inspection by the state’s forest minister. The move concerns Tharkonalbari and Rakhyasini Pahar, where encroachment has been flagged as a key issue.
According to the available details, the state government is treating the land as environmentally important and is moving to clear illegal occupation from the proposed forest zones. The inspection signals that the administration is stepping up enforcement in these areas as part of a broader forest protection effort.
Along with the planned evictions, Assam also intends to carry out a plantation drive in the affected stretches. This suggests the government is linking land recovery with reforestation, aiming to strengthen green cover once the disputed or occupied land is cleared.
The development puts focus on land use and forest governance in Goalpara, where the proposed reserve forest areas are now likely to see administrative action in the coming period. Further steps are expected to center on removing encroachments and advancing restoration work in both locations.
