After the demolition of 12 tribal houses in Kosmi village, Sehore, Shivraj’s son Kartikeya Singh Chauhan met the affected families and promised to construct new homes on the same site.
The demolition of twelve houses belonging to tribal families in Kosmi, a village in Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, has sparked a political controversy. The structures were razed amid a land‑use dispute, prompting protests from the affected community.
Kartikeya Singh Chauhan, the son of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, visited the village to meet the displaced families. During the meeting he assured them that the government would facilitate the reconstruction of their homes on the original plot, emphasizing that the administration would address their grievances promptly.
Local officials indicated that the demolition was ordered following a legal notice, but the political fallout has intensified calls for a swift remedial action. Chauhan’s pledge is expected to be reviewed by the district administration to ensure compliance with land‑recovery procedures and tribal welfare norms.
The promise comes as the state government faces scrutiny over its handling of tribal rights and land issues, with opposition parties demanding a transparent inquiry into the demolition process.
