Tense situation in Diphu: Protest by over 24 organizations demanding eviction and police firing into the air<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The roots of this conflict trace back to the long-standing issue of illegal settlements on PGR, VGR lands. More than 24 organizations have rallied together, calling for immediate action to remove those unlawfully occupying these lands. Their collective demand underscores the complexity and urgency of the situation, which has been a contentious issue for years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"As public sentiment grew increasingly hostile, these organizations orchestrated a large-scale protest to pressurize the authorities into taking decisive action. However, what started as a peaceful demonstration quickly turned chaotic, setting the stage for the violent encounters that followed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The protest took a violent turn when demonstrators and police forces clashed head-on. Reports indicate that the confrontation led to multiple injuries on both sides, with the police resorting to firing shots into the air in a desperate bid to regain control of the situation. According to the sources, the Lathi charge prompted more than 35 protestors being injured, and 4 demonstrators were arrested. Eyewitnesses described scenes of utter chaos, with the streets becoming a battleground between the agitated protesters and the police force.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"According to official sources, the police were compelled to act when the protestors breached security barriers and began to engage in aggressive behavior. The escalation was swift and intense, marking a dark chapter in the ongoing struggle over land rights and illegal settlements. Nine police personnel, including SDPO, Bokajan, and constables, were injured , as stated by\u00a0 Karbi Anglong SP Sanjib Kumar Saikia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
