Guwahati (Assam), June 24 (ANI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday announced that the state government has reclaimed approximately six square kilometers of land in the Goalpara district by evicting 7,000 alleged encroachers from the Hasila Beel area. The Chief Minister reiterated his administration’s commitment to recovering all illegally occupied land across the state and pledged to initiate public welfare projects on the newly cleared land.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, CM Sarma stated, “The Assam government has reclaimed 6 sq km of land by freeing the Hasila Beel area from 7,000 encroachers. Now, public welfare works will be initiated in this area. The government will ensure the recovery of every illegally occupied land in the state.”
In a video shared on the same platform, Sarma emphasized the moral support he received from local residents, including those who had been evicted. “Even the encroachers who were removed from Assam’s Hasila Beel area welcomed me today. They too believe that our government has only one priority: ‘Assam First’,” he said.
Reflecting on his decades-long political career, Sarma added, “I have been in politics for over 25 years. Nobody has spoken ill of me. In fact, I visited Hasila Beel. The ones who have been evicted clicked pictures with me. Because they know my intentions are pure. I always work for the people. That’s why even the evicted people felicitated me with a Gamusa and offered their support. What more do I need?”
Meanwhile, the Assam government is advancing its healthcare initiatives with a plan to organize statewide health camps starting in October. CM Sarma chaired a review meeting with the State Health Department on Tuesday to finalize the strategy.
In a separate post, he wrote, “Towards a Healthy Assam… From October onwards, we will organise five Health Camps in each constituency across Assam to screen people and provide timely medical help. Specialist doctors from the Public and Private sectors will be engaged to screen people, and any treatment escalation will be coordinated and followed up by the Government.”
He added that patients identified during the camps will be linked to relevant government healthcare schemes to ensure continuity of treatment and support.
The land reclamation and health outreach plans are being projected as part of the state government’s broader efforts to promote public welfare, assert land rights, and improve health infrastructure across Assam. (ANI)
