People covered under the demolition drive have opened a front against the government. There is a fierce uproar on social media. #Haldwani has been in the trend of social media for the last 2 days. It is being claimed on social media that the Uttarakhand government and the Railway Ministry are targeting a particular section of people. People have also started opposing this encroachment removal campaign. In the freezing cold, the case of people sitting against the order issued by the Ministry of Railways is strongly being opposed. It is being said to maintain solidarity with the protesting people.
An order has also been issued to demolish 4,365 houses built on 78 acres of railway land. The demolition drive has also started. The encroachers say that they have also been displaced. Arrange for their stay. They should not be made homeless before that. They say that our forefathers have been living on that land for many decades. Railways are now calling it their land.
Thousands of people have taken out a candle march regarding this case. Women, children, and the elderly joined the candle march. They appealed to the government to stop the drive to remove encroachments. They have said that if the government wants to remove the encroachments, then they should have been displaced earlier. People are sitting with women and children carrying banner posters.
A large number of police forces had also been deployed for the demonstration in Haldwani. The protesters have to say that instead of providing relief to the people in this cold, the government is annihilating them. The local people said on the removal of the encroachment campaign that no one thought about us poor people. This government is doing injustice to us.
