SILCHAR, May 2: Smugglers dealing in valuable woods were behind the drive by a group of Mizo people to grab land belonging to Asom’s Dholai district bordering Mizoram, alleged BJP MLA from Dholai Parimal Shuklabaidya. Talking to The Sentinel, Shuklabaidya said some Mizo people visibly backed by armed Mizo police have been trying to occupy land of Asom for the last couple of years.
Shuklabaidya had raised the issue in the Assembly for a number of times but the district administration had taken no serious step till now. Shuklabaidya now suspected that some forest officials had secret nexus with the racket as valuable woods were regularly destroyed by some Mizo miscreants who had recently erected a temporary shade at Lailapur bordering Mizoram. Shuklabaidya also informed the matter to the DC and Police Superintendent today. The SP informed him that the forest officials have never informed the police about the Mizo aggression, Shuklabaidya said.
He further added that he would not sit idle if the administration does not act and he would launch mass agitation to protect the land belonging to Asom. THE SENTINEL
