SIVASAGAR: The Sivasagar Municipal Office has launched an important initiative to document land records by surveying properties in wards 1 to 14. Using satellite technology, this survey will map both government and private lands in the municipal area.
The documentation process has already begun in the Chak Bazar area. To ensure smooth execution, the municipal office has asked residents for their cooperation, requesting them to provide accurate land record details. This effort is expected to improve transparency and make administrative processes more efficient within the Sivasagar municipality.
Meanwhile, the All Tai Ahom Students’ Union (ATASU) held a mass protest in Sivasagar today, demanding the scientific preservation and beautification of Ahom-era monuments. Thousands marched from Boarding Field to Dolmukh Chariali, where tensions rose as police set up barricades.
ATASU President Basanta Gogoi highlighted the encroachment of historical sites like Shiva Doul and Vishnu Doul, blaming both outsiders and locals. He accused corrupt officials of enabling these encroachments and called for government action within a month, threatening an eviction drive if no steps are taken.
Monirul Islam Bora of the Ujoni Axom Muslim Kalyan Parishad and other leaders spoke, urging unity against encroachments. Bora pointed out that 551 historical sites were identified in the district, but no action was taken.
Gogoi announced a major public rally in March to demand preservation of monuments, tribal status for six indigenous communities, and autonomy for the Tai Ahom community. A four-point memorandum was submitted to the Assam Chief Minister.
