More than 45 shops were demolished in Haryana’s violence-hit Nuh district on Saturday over alleged illegal construction, reported the Hindustan Times.
Sub Divisional Magistrate Ashwani Kumar said that action was being taken at the direction of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and claimed that some of the shops belonged to those involved in the communal violence in Nuh that took place on Monday.
The demolitions took place near the market area outside Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati Government Medical College in Nalhar.
Reportedly six people died in communal violence during a Hindu festivity procession.
Several residents have also left Nuh area, reported NDTV.
The development came a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party government demolished shanties of more than 250 migrant workers in Tauru town of the violence-hit Nuh district for allegedly encroaching on government land.
