Prophet Row Remarks: Debate over the bulldozer action | 12 June 2022

Bulldozers, now a symbol of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanaths crackdown on anti-social elements, were moved to the residence of Mohammad Javed, a.k.a. Javed Pump, who has been identified as the main conspirator behind the violence that erupted in the city on June 10.

The Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) has served a notice to demolish the house that was allegedly built without getting the requisite permissions.

The PDA's notice was pasted on the gate of Javed's home in the city's Atala area, informing the residents that they must vacate the property by 11 a.m. on June 12 so that action can be taken.
