Satellite images expose a horrifying truth: The catastrophic Nazira #Floods are not a natural calamity, but a meticulously engineered man-made disaster driven by unchecked sand, stone, and coal mafias! 🚨 If you compare the satellite imagery of the region from 2010 to 2024, the reality is stark and undeniable. The once lush green banks and natural courses of the Dikhow River have been mercilessly excavated and transformed into cratered wastelands. This rampant, unchecked plundering of our natural resources is the direct root cause of the current devastation in Nazira, #Sivasagar #Charaideo #Jorhat etc. I have relentlessly warned this #BJPGovernment and fought against this impending doom for years, but they chose to protect the syndicates over our citizens. I approached the Hon'ble Gauhati High Court and filed a PIL (PIL 62/2019) against the rampant #illegalmining on the Dikhow river banks. On October 21, 2019, the High Court expected the Government to form a "Mines & Minerals Task Force Battalion" within three months to stop this menace. Despite clear judicial directives, the #AssamGovernment shamelessly admitted on the floor of the Assembly on December 22, 2021, that the formation of this 200-member Task Force was still merely "under process." I raised this issue again in the March 2022 #Assembly session, demanding to know what concrete steps were taken to stop the illegal trade of forest and mineral resources as per the High Court's directives. Following my persistent complaints, on January 12, 2022, the Assistant Executive Engineer (Water Resources, Nazira Sub-division) inspected the illegal mining sites near Bamunphukhuri Tea Estate and Santak. He gave a stark, written warning that continued #excavation would alter the river's course and bring massive devastation. The #BJP Government buried this report to protect the mafias. Most recently, on June 15, 2024, I wrote directly to the Environment & Forest Minister, explicitly warning about the imminent threat of the Dikhow River altering its course due to this unabated illegal mining and the existential devastation it would cause. But all the stark warnings were deliberately ignored. The people of Nazira are now paying the ultimate price—losing their homes, their livelihoods, and their loved ones—because of this unholy nexus between the #Government and the mining mafias. #AssamFloods #Assam #Disaster @narendramodi @AmitShah @byadavbjp
