An activist in Assam has been charged under the National Security Act for opposing a luxury hotel near Kaziranga. The activist was granted bail just a day before the NSA was invoked.
The National Security Act has been invoked against an activist in Assam who opposed the construction of a luxury hotel near the Kaziranga wildlife sanctuary. The activist was recently granted bail, but the invocation of the NSA has raised concerns about the freedom of speech and the right to protest. The move is seen as an attempt to silence the activist and others who have been vocal about environmental and social issues in the region.
