Dera Bassi, September 8
The Municipal Council today razed 13 shops near bus stand. The shopkeepers opposed the MC’s decision to demolish the “khokha market”, said to be around 33 years old.
A Duty Magistrate, Judge Jagjit Singh, said: “Today’s proceedings were carried out after a hearing. The market was illegal.”
Dera Bassi MLA NK Sharma said: “The Congress-ruled city council is bullying the poor. Covid has already made life difficult for people but they do not care for the poor.” — TNS
