A total of 234 beneficiaries in the Kamrup district were formally granted Forest Rights Title Deeds under the Forest Rights Act, 2006, during an official distribution event held in Amingaon. The proceedings took place at the Conference Hall of the Integrated District Commissioner's Office as part of the ongoing observance of Janjatiya Gaurav Pakhwada.
Guardian Minister of Kamrup, Ajanta Neog, presided over the programme and handed the official documents directly to the recipients. Addressing the gathering, the Minister emphasized the legislative importance of the Forest Rights Act, noting its vital role in safeguarding the traditional entitlements and livelihoods of forest-dwelling populations.

She further urged relevant government departments and administrative officials to expedite pending cases, directing them to fast-track the verification and distribution process so that all eligible residents receive their due benefits promptly.
