AGARTALA, Aug 9 (TIWN): City development, although a luxury for the rich, but almost nightmare for the poor and once again it has been proven in Agartala city when people were seen crying by seeing their houses are being broken with monstrous like bulldozers. In such an incident, houses were bulldozed in Agartala City in the name of City development planning but the affected persons were seen crying before media, although they have been assured verbally about new land allocation, but so far no land has been allocated in reality. These bulldozing drives started from a long time in the city as the Govt is now proceeding with a Smart City mission. Earlier, houses, shops on Govt lands were bulldozed, many tea stalls, vendors lost their carts which were allegedly took off by AMC in the dark hours of very early mornings. But, this step on Sunday now has been taken when public are affected due to COVID-19 crisis and frequent lockdowns.

For a Govt, the houses are just tin, brick made buildings but the common men, these buildings might be their everything, their hardearned money’s investment.
