JDA Demolishes Properties to Widen Road, Sparks Protest

The government in Jaipur, India, knocked down some buildings to make a road wider.

This happened very early on a Sunday.

Some people who owned the buildings were upset and protested, but the police took them away.

The government was doing this because a court told them to.

The people who lost their buildings say they weren't ready for this because they had asked the government to reconsider.

The government did spare a few buildings.
