A case of alleged bulldozer action has come to light from Chhidi village in the Bara tehsil area of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, where a Dalit woman has accused the local administration of demolishing her house without any prior notice.
The woman, identified as Mala Devi, has termed the action illegal and unconstitutional and has demanded a fair investigation along with strict action against those responsible.
Family Claims Generational Residence on Disputed Land
Mala Devi said her family has been living for several generations in a semi-pucca house built on plot number 1014, which is recorded as barren land in official records.
She claimed that the family has been residing there for years and was not given any warning or opportunity to present their side before the demolition.
Allegation of Bulldozer Action Without Notice
According to the complaint, the action was carried out after a complaint by the village head. Mala Devi alleged that revenue officials, along with police personnel and a bulldozer team, arrived at the spot and demolished her house.
