Agartala May 19: In a massive eviction drive conducted by Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC), several illegal shops and houses starting from Indranagar Kalibari to ITI road were bulldozed on early Friday morning.
However, public alleged the drive to be an inhuman, illegal and motivated act. Few also alleged that they didn’t receive any notice from the AMC.
Speaking to the reporters one woman said, “We did not receive any notice from the AMC and got no chance to reply or take action. All of a sudden, our house has been demolished inhumanly this morning”.
Another family whose entire building was bulldozed said, “AMC must have taken bribes and is conducting such inhuman and illogical drive”.
“I reached Agartala on May 17, and got no chance to place my words before AMC. Today too, the officials denied to listen to me”, he added.
However, the authorities said that such drives are not illegal and are necessary to free the city from everyday traffic congestion that is a major issue these days.
