Madras HC Order Leads to Encroachment Demolition on Adyar River

The government is removing houses built illegally on the Adyar River.

This is happening because the court told them to remove the people who are living there.

The government will move these people to new houses for free.

The court's reason is to allow the Adyar River to be restored, because the restoration project has not started because of the existing houses.

Some people are asking why the government is only removing houses of poor people and not bigger buildings.
