The delegation toured the affected areas and spoke directly with residents, documenting their grievances and the humanitarian impact of the government\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmed reported that in Hasila Bhal, 667 Muslim families had their homes demolished on a mere two days\u2019 notice, resulting in at least three deaths. In Karbala, approximately 300 families are now living in temporary shelters provided on land given by a local Muslim farmer, who himself is reportedly facing harassment from authorities.<\/p>\n<p>In Jannatpour, 161 families lost their homes built on land temporarily provided by a local farmer. Similarly, in Dhubri district\u2019s Bilasipara, nearly 2,000 families were displaced, leaving around 10,000 people without proper shelter. \u201cAll these people are now living under the open sky, with only makeshift shelters for protection,\u201d Ahmed added. \u201cApproximately 200 police personnel were stationed in the area. We were not allowed inside, but over 100 residents came out to share their suffering with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The SPI delegation has urged the Assam government to halt further demolitions and ensure immediate relief and rehabilitation for the displaced families. \u201cThis is not just about property; it is about the dignity and lives of human beings,\u201d Ahmed said. \u201cIgnoring their plight only deepens the social and humanitarian crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social media and local activists have expressed outrage over the demolitions. Many have highlighted that such actions, particularly against Bengali-speaking Muslims with valid documentation, constitute a severe violation of fundamental rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guwahati: Widespread rights violations have emerged in Assam, India, where the government has demolished hundreds of homes belonging to Bengali-speaking Muslim families.
