GUWAHATI: The evicted people of the Silsako Beel of Guwahati staged a protest against the activities of the administration yet again on Monday. They demanded proper compensation from the authorities for the properties demolished by the authorities.
The people have been protesting for the last several days against the eviction of the locality of the people who have been residing there for the last several years. They have now mentioned that only a very few number of people have been named by the government to pay compensation and asked why the state is not treating everyone equally.
These protests were triggered after the district administration had recently made an announcement regarding the compensation of the evicted people. The district administration of the Kamrup (M) District has announced the allocation of Rs 75 lakh as a one-time assistance in the first phase of relief for the people evicted from the Silsako Beel in Guwahati.
The District Commissioner of Kamrup Metropolitan District, Pallav Gopal Jha made this announcement. It was also mentioned that the five families who owned the RCC houses demolished by the authorities will be given a compensation of Rs 10 lakhs while those with 5 Assam-type houses will be given Rs 5 lakh.
