LIVE! Campa Cola eviction: Residents say cops lathi-charged women, children

November 13, 2013 11:05

Ninety-six flats have been marked for demolition after the Supreme Court court, early this year, ruled they had to go because of large scale FSI violations by the builder almost 30 years ago. Just 10 of the 96 flats have been vacated, even though the last day for vacating the flats ended on November 11.

Yesterday, the residents barricaded the gates with cars which proved effective yesterday. But this morning, cops climbed over the cars and broke down the gates. Residents allege that women and children were lathi-charged.
