Residents and traders alleged that despite a long-standing court case regarding the land in the High Court, the demolition was carried out without prior notice to the shop owners or landowners. They also claimed that their request for some time was not considered.
Following the incident, agitated traders gathered and staged protests, forcing a temporary halt to the demolition drive.
However, the operation was later resumed in the presence of police personnel, and the remaining illegal structures were fully demolished by the administration.
