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.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
