AJYCP Leads Coordinated Marches Across Assam Over Indigenous Land Rights

Overview

• AJYCP organized synchronized rallies on December 29 at district headquarters including Tinsukia, Lakhimpur, Nagaon and Nalbari, drawing large crowds.
• Protesters submitted memorandums seeking immediate eviction of alleged outsiders from Karbi Anglong, reform of land laws and stronger enforcement of Sixth Schedule protections.
• AJYCP alleges widespread encroachment in Karbi Anglong by non‑tribal settlers, including occupation of Village and Protected Grazing Reserves, eroding indigenous land and political rights.
• In Nagaon, thousands marched to the District Commissioner’s office with additional demands for dual citizenship and an inter‑state permit system to regulate migration.
• The organization blames successive governments for enabling settlements and selective evictions, as recent unrest in West Karbi Anglong that left two dead remains a volatile backdrop with no fresh violence reported.
