Chief Minister announced a significant step to protect the indigenous people of the state by implementing Clause 6 of the Assam Accord.
The new measures will primarily focus on protection of Tribal Belt & Block, Micro Tribal Belt & Block, and Heritage Belt & Block across the state.
Furthermore, a legislation to protect land of Adivasis and Dalits will be enacted.
Third law in pipeline: Initially govt will bring in Goalpara, where it will sell schedule tribe land to schedule tribe people. Schedule Caste land will be sold only to Schedule Caste and OBC land can only be sold to OBC. So land will remain within the community.
This initiative aims to tackle the longstanding issues of the socio-economic stability of Assam’s indigenous communities.
