Mohammad Shahid's Home Demolished in Varanasi Road Project

A road in Varanasi, India, is being made wider, and this means some houses have to be taken down.

Thirteen houses were demolished, including the ancestral home of Mohammad Shahid, a famous hockey player.

The government paid money to the families affected.

While most of Shahid's family took the money, some still lived in the home and haven't decided whether to leave.

Authorities gave people a warning to move out before the demolition.

The demolition occurred because the families did not vacate the designated area for the road project after receiving compensation and an ultimatum.
