Stone‑pelt Protest During PMAY Notice Serving in Dosigaon
In Dosigaon, a small area in Ratlam, people were upset because they had to pay money for their homes under a government housing program.
When officials came to give them notices that they must pay the rest of the money or they would lose their homes, some residents threw stones at the officials.
A journalist named Rajendra Kelwa was hurt and had to go to the hospital.
The police helped keep everyone safe and finished giving the notices.
The city officials said they would find the people who threw stones and take legal action against them.
Residents in Dosigaon, Ratlam, pelted stones at a municipal corporation team serving Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana recovery notices.
The team, led by Health Officer Rajendra Singh Panwar, served final notices to 208 beneficiaries, demanding Rs 1.80 lakh within three days or face eviction.
The stone‑pelt incident injured journalist Rajendra Kelwa, who sustained a fractured hand and was hospitalized.
Police secured the site and completed the notice‑serving exercise under tight security; Municipal Commissioner Anil Bhana later arrived.
The corporation will identify those involved in the stone‑pelt and register an FIR, with eviction set for Aug 4.
