Drive to clear 175 bighas of grazing land begins in Biswanath
1 2 Guwahati: An eviction drive began in Assam's Biswanath district on Sunday to clear 175 bighas of Village Grazing Land (VGR), which had been encroached by over 300 families, officials said. A senior official from the district administration said the land in question was located at Japariguri village in Biswanath, before adding that the drive has been proceeding peacefully, so far. The officer further said notices were served to the families on August 1 to vacate the areas within 15 days, which they have already done. Moreover, the officer mentioned that a few of the families dismantled their houses and took away the roof tin sheets along with their belongings. "The remaining houses have been demolished amid tight security deployment," the officer said, adding that about 600 police and CRPF personnel were deployed for the drive. Earlier, during his Independence Day speech, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had said "aggression" had changed the demography of lower and central Assam, and now similar efforts were being made in upper and north Assam as well. Meanwhile, 74 families of Doyang reserve forest and South Nambor reserved forest in Golaghat district had approached the Gauhati high court, claiming land rights and challenging the eviction notice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

Dog lovers seek relaxations in curtailing strays
Trichy: Dog lovers from People for Animal Trichy chapter conducted a demonstration near Trichy Junction railway station on Sunday to censure the recent Supreme Court's directive urging the Delhi local body authorities to shift stray dogs to shelters. Expressing apprehensions over Tamil Nadu implementing a similar strategy against strays, the protesters said that animal birth control (ABC) and anti-rabies vaccination (ARV) drives are sufficient to reduce the stray dog population. "Just because of a few dog bite incidents, it is not right for us to punish all dogs. Aggressive dogs can be selectively removed from roads and treated by the local body. Locking all street dogs in a shelter is not practical and cannot be a wise move," Ajay Barath, vice president, People for Animals, Trichy said. Holding placards, the protesters, including women, said that people must come forward to adopt community dogs instead of spending on exotic bred dogs. Stating that there are provisions for initiating mercy killing for rabies infected stray dogs, the protesters claimed that restricting the movement of community dogs within a shelter will be like lodging everyone in prison for the criminal offences committed by a few. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo Demanding sterilization and vaccination of stray dogs for co-existence, the protesters sought a ban on commercial breeding of exotic dog species to promote community dogs as pets. Reacting to questions on stray dogs chasing and biting commuters on roads, the protesters claimed that canines cause disruptions only if they were provoked by humans. They also expressed hope that protests organised by dog lovers across the country may tone down the stance of the judiciary in handling stray dogs.
