Bahraich violence notices: In the aftermath of violent clashes that erupted during the idol immersion of Goddess Durga on October 13, resulting in the death of Ramgopal Mishra, tensions have continued to rise in Uttar Pradeshs Bahraich district. The unrest led to widespread arson and damage to properties, prompting swift action from the authorities.23 properties served notices amid rising tensionsThe Public Works Department (PWD) and revenue magistrates have issued notices to the owners of 23 properties in the Mahasi area. Among these, 20 belong to members of the Muslim community, and three to the Hindu community. The properties under scrutiny include those owned by individuals such as Haji Meraj, Nizam Ali Ahmed, and Ram Prasad.These notices are part of a broader effort by the administration to ensure that all constructions in the area comply with local regulations. The homes of the key suspects in the violence, Abdul Hamid and Sarfaraz, have also been targeted in this crackdown.Focus on illegal constructionsAuthorities have stressed that any construction along Kundasar Mahasis main roadway must be approved by the district administration. Any structures built without the necessary permissions are considered illegal. Property owners are now required to provide explanations regarding their constructions, with officials warning that failure to comply could lead to demolitions.Properties facing demolitionThe PWD has indicated that buildings located within 60 feet of the roadway may be demolished if the notices are ignored. This administrative move aims to restore order in the region and ensure that construction regulations are enforced.One of the primary suspects, Sarfaraz, who is accused of fatally shooting Ramgopal Mishra during the clashes, was arrested after an encounter near the Nepal border. He sustained a gunshot wound in his leg during the arrest.
