SIPAJHAR (DARRANG): Dholpur in the Darrang District, which is in the storm over the eviction recently, has produced mustard, corn, pulses and large volumes of vegetables for the Guwahati market and other parts of the country.
Buffalo’s farm has maintained demand for dairy products.
But the drive of a large-scale repairing has changed this fertile soil, flanked by two Brahmaputra tributaries, becoming a land of debris.
“The leaders came to us to vote.
We produce fresh vegetables for them.
Our vegetables coat the elite kitchen.
But in the time our crisis no one protects us from the bulldozer,” Rupi is one of Evictees.
For more than two decades, Dholpur has attracted a seizure that has settled here and takes agriculture.
Everything is Bengali Muslim migrant Muslim.
Some even came from other districts with the pretext of losing their land into erosion.
Their numbers swell for years and currently there are more than 1,000 families, which have served the notification of eviction by the state government.
Dholpur is not an income village in government records, which means there is no electrical connection and road.
But as a welfare step, there are three government health facilities and six elementary schools managed by the government.
Gaonbura (Village Head), Moti Ali from Sanawa’s revenue village, on Saturday told the Toi that there was no official record of Dholpur people who paid land income to the government.
But the picture is different in the three adjacent villages-Kamaratsuba, Nijkhalmara and Naljhunjhi, who have also been interrupted.
Allensive is a mixed population here from Assam Muslim who speaks Assam, officially known as Goriya and Hindu natives.
Unlike Dholpur, which is inhabited by migrants, encroachment in these three fields has used land in these three villages to farm, while they live elsewhere.
They used to pay ‘Touji Khajana’, a kind of income paid to the government to occupy the land.
But paying this income is not a guarantee of land ownership.
The government now has land in Kamaratsuba and Naljhunjhi.
Motiin, whose family has occupied the Gaonbura post for three generations, said, “Tractors make land ready for rabbi plants in Kamaratsuba and Naljhunjhi for state agricultural projects.
Here the land is used by Muslim Assam (Goriyas) and Hindus.
They have not protested the decision The government.
But in Dholpur, where Muslim migrants speak Bengali live, there is confrontation.
“Motin, who was late fifties, said that about 25 years ago, no one went to Dholpur.
“We know it is forest land,” he said.
