BJP Leader Offers Aid After Meerut Demolition Drive
Imagine some shops were built without permission, like building a treehouse without asking.
The government, following a court order, tore down these shops.
A leader from a political party then gave money to the shop owners who were affected, to help them out.
The court had previously said that buildings built without permission must be removed, even if it takes a while to notice them.
This event has caused local shop owners to protest, and they might even close down all the shops in the area.
UPHDB demolished 22 shops in Meerut's Central Market.
BJP leader provided Rs 5 lakh in financial assistance.
The demolition was in compliance with a Supreme Court order.
Traders are strongly opposing the demolition.
Supreme Court upheld the demolition of illegal structures.
