Guwahati: Locals in the Mathoukhat, Bamuni, and Bamuni Pathar areas of Kaliabor are taking a stand. They want to stop a proposed industrial project slated for their farmland. The residents claim business groups are pushing to build on the site. These citizens believe the factory will ruin local settlements and fields.
The neighbors suspect the local administration is helping these business groups. Tensions are rising fast. The protesters demand the authorities scrap the plan immediately. They have a clear alternative for the site. "The proposed site should instead be used for setting up a school or a hospital, which they claimed would better serve the local population."
Protecting food sources and homes comes first. The group issued a blunt warning to the government. Ignore their objections, and the agitation gets worse. They refuse to yield to industrial expansion at the expense of their community.
