“No consent, no eviction”: Tribals protest Adani power plant in Assam’s Kokrajhar

Tribal communities in Assam’s Kokrajhar district are protesting against the proposed Adani power plant, asserting their right to prior consent under the Forest Rights Act. Chanting “No consent, no eviction,” they demand that their land rights be respected before any development. The project, planned on forest land, has triggered fears of displacement and ecological damage. Activists and local leaders accuse authorities of bypassing legal procedures and ignoring the rights of indigenous people. The protest highlights growing tensions between development initiatives and tribal autonomy in the region, with calls for transparency, environmental accountability, and adherence to legal safeguards.
