Lucknow's Rahim Nagar residents express anguish over Kukrail river front scheme demolitions
Lucknow: Women from Rahim Nagar in Uttar Pradesh's capital are voicing their distress as their homes, shops, and flats within a 3 Kilometre radius of the Kukrail River are marked for demolition under the Kukrail River Front Scheme.
Residents are questioning why their homes were allowed to be constructed in the first place if they were to be demolished later. They highlight that they have been paying home taxes, electricity, and water bills, yet now face eviction with no clear relocation plan.
Many recall the initial excitement when the BJP, under leaders like Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath, came to power, believing it to be a victory for Hindus. Now, they feel betrayed as their homes are marked for demolition by the very government they supported.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
