Homes of 1,080 families, mostly Muslims, bulldozed in Assam

GUWAHATI: Indian authorities have demolished 1,080 houses, most of them belonging to Muslims, in the Assam state of India.

The displaced families were mostly of Bengali origin. This was the second major eviction drive in the district. On June 16, the authorities demolished the homes of 690 families in Hasilabeel, near Goalpara town.

At least five eviction drives have been carried out in four districts of Assam over the past month, displacing nearly 3,500 families.

Mizanur Rahman, a 28-year-old resident of Bidyapara revenue village, lost his home during the eviction drive. He and eight members of his family now have nowhere to go. “All three of our houses, including the pucca house, were razed today… we don’t have land anywhere else,” Rahman said.

  1. Please ensure the information you share is accurate. Even if your news agency is based in Pakistan, there is no need to spread hatred or target India unfairly by misrepresenting facts.

    The recent incident in Assam involved eviction drives by the government, targeting illegal migrants from Bangladesh who had settled on government land without any legal documents. Around 1,000 to 1,100 families were staying there unlawfully. When the authorities asked them to vacate, some people responded violently by pelting stones at the police and damaging public property. This forced the deployment of additional security forces, including the military, to restore order and carry out the eviction.

    It’s important to note that this is not a religious issue. It is about illegal encroachment and refusal to follow the law. The government’s actions are based on legal procedures—not aimed at any particular community.

    Also, please remember that millions of Muslims live in India and have made remarkable contributions to our country. We live together in peace and brotherhood. Just because a few individuals act wrongly does not give anyone the right to generalize or spread hatred against our entire country or its people.

    As a respected news agency, it is your responsibility to report the truth. Misrepresenting events or hiding key facts only promotes unnecessary hate. Please maintain journalistic integrity and present the situation honestly.
