Bahraich violence: Maharajganj residents self-demolish their properties, fearing bulldozer drive

In Maharajganj, Bahraich, residents began dismantling parts of their properties after receiving Public Works Department (PWD) notices for alleged encroachment. The notices were issued after communal violence involving Abdul Hameed, a suspect in a recent incident. Traders quickly emptied shops, while some questioned selective targeting. Authorities emphasized encroachments disrupt traffic, urging compliance with the demolition orders.
