Muslim worshippers offered prayers amid the rubble of a demolished mosque in India's northeastern state of Assam, where government eviction drives have reportedly left more than 4,000 people homeless since the beginning of November.

The mosque, located in the Alamganj-Rangamati area of Dhubri district, was demolished alongside an adjoining madrasa during an anti-encroachment operation carried out by the state government, Indian news outlet Maktoob reported on Tuesday.

Images published by Maktoob showed worshippers praying among broken bricks, concrete debris and the remains of the religious structure.

The demolition is part of a wider series of eviction operations conducted by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

According to Maktoob, the operations have displaced more than 4,000 people since November 1, with at least 750 families losing their homes.

The report estimated that authorities had cleared approximately 650 bighas of land using more than 50 bulldozers and excavators.

The evictions have raised concerns about the displacement of Bengali-speaking Muslim communities, whose homes, livelihoods and religious institutions have been affected by the operations.

The Gauhati High Court is scheduled to hear a matter concerning the demolitions on November 13, while a protest against the eviction drive is planned in New Delhi on November 14, Maktoob reported.

Another demolition operation took place in Assam's Lakhimpur district on November 8, where authorities used an excavator to demolish concrete structures.

Chief Minister Sarma shared footage of the operation on social media, describing it as "Ghar Ki Safai", meaning cleaning the house, ahead of the Hindu festival of Diwali.

His remarks drew criticism from opposition politicians and social media users.

Congress MP Mohammad Jawaid condemned the demolitions, warning that the suffering inflicted on displaced families could have consequences lasting generations.

Former Srinagar mayor Junaid Azim Mattu also criticised Sarma's comments, questioning the use of celebratory language in connection with the destruction of people's homes.

The latest demolitions follow earlier eviction operations in Assam that have affected large numbers of Bengali-speaking Muslim families.

In October, Maktoob reported that more than 1,100 Bengali Muslim families had been evicted and over 10 mosques demolished during a two-day operation.

The Assam government has characterised its eviction campaigns as efforts to remove illegal encroachments.

However, the scale of the demolitions and their impact on vulnerable communities have prompted questions about displacement, due process and the protection of religious sites.
