Two years after Assam evictions, hundreds of families wait for their promised land
The Assam government forcibly evicted 700 Bengali-speaking Muslim families in Assam's Darrang district, promising land in return. two years later, they remain homeless, with no land and no compensation. The government project meanwhile failed, and the victims of river erosion have not been compensated either. Activists allege a communal agenda.
