Muzaffarpur villagers oppose eviction drive, clash with cops
Protests erupted in Muzaffarpur as villagers clashed with an anti-encroachment team, leading to stone-pelting and road blockades. Residents accused the administration of discriminatory evictions without rehabilitation plans. Officials stated the demolitions, including 90 'pucca' houses, followed a court order to clear illegal encroachments on government land for development. Dialogue failed as residents demanded concrete rehabilitation.
