The drive to evict encroachers from forest land in Assam's Lakhimpur district continued for the second day on Wednesday, with 299 families residing on a 250-hectare tract left in the lurch.
The Assam assembly today saw chaotic scenes with opposition leaders walking out of the house after rejection of an adjournment motion to discuss a massive eviction drive.
The Assam government is all set to carry out a major eviction drive in Sonitpur district on Saturday to clear encroachments from 330 acres of land, a senior official said.
