Goalpara: The Goalpara district administration on Friday carried out an eviction drive at the Pancharatna area along the Brahmaputra river for about one kilometer. A joint team of several departments including Forest, APDCL and Police under the supervision of Balijana circle office performed the drive.

About thirty scattered houses both with the thatched roofs and Assam type with the help of bulldozers were eliminated.

The families of the evicted people some of whom were inhabiting the place reportedly for last three decades made hue and cry and blamed the proprietors as well as political leaders of one newly constructed resort in the area, ‘Luit Resort’ for the eviction.

The district administration later sealed the area and erected signboard notifying that the area belongs to the district administration and trespassers or encroachers will be prosecuted.
