More than 200 illegal shanties housing migrants were razed at Tauru near Haryana’s Nuh, where communal clashes had killed six people. The encroachment drive was initiated by the Haryana Urban Development Authority.

Upendra Bharti | HENB | New Delhi | Aug 4, 2023:: Days after the communal violence in Haryana’s Nuh, which claimed the lives of six people, the state administration on Friday launched a ‘bulldozer action’ in Tauru town near the violence prone Nuh in Mewat.

In the nearly four-hour-long action, initiated by the Haryana Urban Development Authority, more than 200 illegal shanties housing immigrants were razed in the area by teams of the Rapid Action Force, including the Women Police Force. These  immigrants are  illegal Bangladeshi and Bangladeshi Muslims as alleged.

The bulldozer move, however, is also being seen as action against alleged rioters, as both the district administration and the Chief Minister earlier alleged immigrants were involved in the clashes. Sources said Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar ordered the demolition.

“Illegal” immigrants from Bangladesh who were earlier living in Assam had allegedly set up shanties on Haryana Urban Authority land in ward number one along Mohammadpur road of Tauru town in Nuh district. More than 250 shanties were built in about one acre of land, and they were reportedly living here for the last four years.

The bulldozer action took place amid heavy police and paramilitary deployment in anticipation of disturbances. Officers from several government departments were also on the spot.

Police and administration have alleged “outsiders”, including alleged infiltrators, were involved in the attack on the VHP procession.

The Chief Minister had indicated two days back that bulldozer action will be taken in Haryana on the lines of Yogi Adityanath’s Uttar Pradesh.

Meanwhile, there was also an attempt to vandalise two mosques in Tauru late night on Wednesday. A huge numbers of paramilitary forces were also deployed in the area.

Sources said the administration had received information about migrants from Bangladesh residing illegally in the area.

Information was also received about their involvement in various criminal activities.

Six people (five are Hindus), including two home guards and a Muslim cleric, have died in the clashes that erupted in Nuh over an attempt to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession and spread to Gurugram over the past few days. Several vehicles, food joints, and shops were set on fire by unruly mobs.

176 people have been arrested and over 90 detained in the state so far. Forty-one cases were registered.

The police have filed seven First Information Reports, or FIRs, for incendiary social media posts. 2,300 videos are being examined, they said. Three accounts have been identified which posted inflammatory content on the day of the clashes, police said.

In our previous reporting “The cross sections of Nuh-Mewat violence and the dangerous Islamic situation around Indian Capital“, we hinted “100-200 km radius of Delhi including Mewat  is heavily maneuvered as the battlefield of Jihadi elements!”

So, the bulldozer action must not be limited in Tauru only. All the illegal  slums and shanties in and around Delhi- Haryana must be razed to ground to break the Jihadi upsurge by Rohingyas and Bangladeshis to disturb the peace and progress in India.

It is a high concern of National safety and security.
