The Bhopal administration demolished 11 illegally constructed houses on a 0.75‑acre private plot in Nishatpura after a High Court directive, citing unlawful occupation and safety concerns.
Police and municipal officials carried out the demolition of 11 houses in the Nishatpura area of Bhopal on Tuesday, following a directive from the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
The structures, built on a 0.75‑acre parcel of private land, had been in existence for roughly 35 years and were constructed without any sanctioned permits.
The houses were three storeys high and were occupied by residents who had illegally taken over the land.
Authorities cited safety concerns and the violation of land‑use regulations as the main reasons for the demolition.
The action is part of a broader effort by the state to enforce land‑use laws and curb unlawful construction in the city.
