The Assam Police arrested 453 ‘Land Brokers’ ( Dalals ) from different parts of the state after conducting raids on the intervening night of September 20 and 21 on the instruction of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. This is the first ever initiative by the Government of Assam that such steps have been taken to eradicate the malpractices of dalalraj in the state. Earlier Dr. Himanata Biswa Sarma in an interaction with the circle officers of the state few days back asked them to free their offices from the influence of land brokers. He asked the circle officers to bid farewell to the land brokers by offering them a gamosa. Assam CM Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma Tweeted ," 453 land brokers picked up so far in continuing raids by @assampolice in our concerted pledge to end #AssamFightsDalalRaj. This notorious practice of brokers/dalals in revenue offices harassing commoners must end. Our fight against nefarious activities will go on relentlessly" .
