“To bust the land grabbing scam, we are taking a huge step towards it. Landowners who have lost their land due to illegal land grabbers can help them in retrieving their land. 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. In January, we will provide a detailed report on the land scammers.” Following this announcement, CM Sharma personally visited the Kamrup Metropolitan District Deputy Commissioner’s office to review pending files related to the scam.
