BDA bulldozer action in Saraipalya triggers anger; residents allege no notice
Bengaluru: Allegations have surfaced that the Bangalore Development Authority carried out a sudden demolition drive in Saraipalya early morning without issuing any prior notice, leaving several families shocked and distressed.
Local residents alleged that bulldozers arrived at daybreak and began demolishing houses without any warning. They said no notices or prior intimation were served before the operation. The sudden eviction triggered strong resentment among the affected families, who claimed their homes were razed while they were still inside or just waking up.
Reacting to the incident, journalist Mohammed Zubair shared a video of the demolition and raised questions over the manner in which the operation was conducted.

“North Bengaluru’s Saraipalya saw a demolition drive early this morning that has left residents shaken. The BDA action has rendered many families homeless. People woke up to JCBs, not notices. Locals say no prior warning was given. Homes were demolished at dawn. Household items were thrown onto the roads. Families are left clueless about where to go, with children without food and even milk. Is this a lawful eviction? Even if action was required, should the government not have acted with humanity and compassion instead of disrupting lives overnight? An administration without compassion is unacceptable,” Zubair wrote.
The incident has once again raised concerns over eviction procedures and the need for due process, with residents questioning whether the demolition was carried out in accordance with legal guidelines.
