Family Protests Delay in Demolishing Illegal Building
In Dibrugarh, a family and local residents are very upset because a building that caused a woman's death is not being demolished quickly enough.
The building, owned by Yunus Khan, was found to be illegal and unsafe.
The family started a fast-unto-death protest because they feel the authorities are not working fast enough to tear down the building and arrest the owner.
They want justice for the woman who died, Salma Begum.
Only a small part of the building has been demolished so far, and the family is angry that no senior officials are overseeing the work.
Family of Salma Begum and local residents began a fast-unto-death protest over the delayed demolition of an illegal building.
The building, owned by Yunus Khan, collapsed and caused Salma Begum's death.
The Dibrugarh Municipal Corporation ordered the demolition, but only 20% has been completed.
