Landowners who have lost their case in court in 15 years, we can help them to get back their land as we have nabbed big fraudsters in connection with the case,” said CM Sarma.
Commending the efforts of Assam Police, Guwahati Police, and DGP GP Singh in nabbing fraudsters, CM Sarma stated, “To bust the land grabbing scam, we are taking a huge step towards it.
