Tension prevailed in the Kakinada city as Kakinada Municipal Corporation (KMC) authorities launched an eviction drive to remove the 110 encroachers from the government land to speed up the proposed road widening project on Friday.
The eviction drive was commenced in the early hours of Friday. However, the families being evicted from their temporary habitation have protested it. The families have alleged that they have not been given sufficient time to vacate the site. Amid tension, the houses were bulldozed by the civic body as part of the eviction drive.
On being alerted about the eviction drive, Jana Sena Party Kakinada In-Charge Pantham Nanaji and supporters rushed to the spot and demanded the civic body to provide sufficient time before the eviction drive.
