Three protesters detained in Guwahati for slogans against chief minister

Three protesters were detained in Guwahati for using a controversial slogan against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma during a demonstration against plans to cut down over 70 trees for a flyover project. The detainees include a graffiti artist and two others. Protests have intensified in Bharalumukh following a recent successful campaign that saved 21 trees near Dighalipukhuri. Demonstrators are now calling for alternatives to the tree removal for the new flyover. The protests feature human chains and artistic expressions, with community members emphasizing the need for transparency in development projects. Local leaders stress the importance of considering public sentiment in planning.
