Guwahati police have detained activist Pranab Doley in connection with ongoing demonstrations against the construction of premium hotel projects near the Kaziranga National Park. The activist has been leading a movement expressing concerns over the environmental impact and land rights associated with the luxury tourism developments.
Official reports state that Doley has been booked under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Following his initial detention in the state capital, law enforcement officials indicated that he would be transferred to the custody of the Bokakhat police in eastern Assam for further proceedings.
