1 2 3 4 Varanasi: Portions of over 30 buildings, including walls of a mosque and a shrine, were demolished near police lines crossing on Sunday for completion of remaining works of the Kutchehri-Sandaha 4-lane road project. The team from PWD, led by executive engineer K K Singh, reached police lines crossing in the morning with a heavy police force and Rapid Action Force companies. The team demolised demarcated portions of the buildings affected by this road widening project. When mediapersons contacted Singh, he informed them that widening of the road was proposed under the Kutchehri-Sandaha 4-lane project. The road would be widened up to 26 meters at police line and added that compensation amounting Rs 3.52 crore was already distributed among owners of 71 buildings affected. Demarcation of the area for demolition was done, apart from serving notices and prior announcement of the demolition drive on Saturday. Despite this claim by PWD officials, no voluntary effort was made for removal of demarcated portions. When the joint team of PWD, district administration and police reached, some groups tried to resist and stage protests to stop the demolition work but failed in their bid as bulldozers started demolishing identified structures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The action began with demolition of the wall of the Kachnar Shaheed Mazar, followed by bulldozing nearby shops.
