On Tuesday, authorities began removing more than 250 obstructing constructions on Indore’s RE‑2 road, facing stone‑throwing from local residents which police subdued with batons.
Indore municipal officials launched a clearance drive on Tuesday to dismantle over 250 structures that were obstructing the RE‑2 arterial road. The operation aimed to restore smooth traffic flow and improve safety on the busy corridor.
During the removal work, residents of a nearby settlement suddenly began hurling stones at the workers and police personnel. The stone‑pelting created a volatile situation and threatened to halt the demolition.
Police on the scene responded by brandishing batons and issuing firm warnings, eventually dispersing the crowd and restoring order. The force’s swift action allowed the clearance work to continue without further interruption.
Local authorities confirmed that the operation would proceed under heightened security until all illegal constructions are cleared, emphasizing the need for public cooperation in maintaining civic order.
