PUCL Criticizes Bihar Bulldozer Demolitions, Demands Legal Action
The People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) is very upset with the Bihar government for using bulldozers to knock down homes and shops without following the proper legal steps.
They say this is unfair and against the rules of the Indian Constitution.
The Supreme Court has said that people should be given notice and a chance to be heard before their homes are demolished.
PUCL wants the government to stop these demolitions and punish those responsible if they broke the law.
They believe that governance should be based on law, not on force.
PUCL condemns Bihar government's use of bulldozers to demolish homes and shops of the poor and vendors.
Demolitions occurred in Patna, Gaya, Begusarai, Nalanda, and other places without prior notice or hearing.
PUCL asserts that these actions violate the Supreme Court's guidelines and constitutional rights.
The Supreme Court has ruled that demolitions without due process are unconstitutional and illegal.
PUCL demands an immediate stop to these demolitions and legal action against responsible officials.
