Haryana: Bulldozer action near Nuh after clashes, more than 250 ‘illegal’ shanties razed

Bulldozers rolled into Tauru, about 20 km away from violence-hit Nuh in Haryana, and razed shanties built on government land. The move, however, is also being seen as an action against alleged rioters, as the government has maintained immigrants were involved in the communal clashes that killed six.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar reportedly ordered the demolition.

The shanties built on Haryana Urban Authority land were reportedly set up by immigrants from Bangladesh who were earlier living in Assam. They were reportedly living there for the last four years.

The bulldozer action took place amid heavy police and paramilitary deployment in anticipation of disturbances. Officers from several government departments were also present at the spot.

The district administration have alleged “outsiders” were involved in the attack on the VHP procession on Jukly 31.

The Chief Minister had indicated two days back that bulldozer action will be taken in Haryana on the lines of Yogi Adityanath’s Uttar Pradesh.
