The meeting was chaired by Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma at the Janata Bhawan on Tuesday in the presence of MLAs from several constituencies of Nagaon and Morigaon districts, District Commissioners of Nagaon, Morigaon, and Hojai, AMSU leadership, and concerned persons. The Chief Minister directed the evicted and already resettled people in various parts of Nagaon, Morigaon, and other districts to cut cotton cultivation on previously encroached lands. However, the Chief Minister also directed that he ensure that no law and order situation arises again. The District Commissioner of Morigaon said the state government is considering the matter from a humanitarian perspective, and further action will be taken within a few days in consultation with the forest department to ensure that everyone can harvest their crops without any confusion. He urged the people to harvest their crops on the date fixed by the administration without causing any disorder.
