Howrah Station News | ভেঙেছে বেশ করেছে, হাওড়ায় বুলডোজারে ধ্বংস ‘বেআইনি’ দোকান, কী বলছেন ওঁরা?Added:
[Music] The state will run according to the law. And that's why the government is demolishing illegal constructions and illegal shops one after another with bulldozers.
This time, they are taking steps to go somewhere and build a railway. And a similar picture was seen on Saturday night at Howrah station, where illegal shops were demolished one after another in the presence of the central government.
What are the commuters saying after the store was demolished? What are the owners of the collapsed shops saying? I will tell you.
[Music] The decision was obviously taken well.
If it was inconvenient for the common people here, if they removed the things because of the inconvenience, then it was good.
The things do not inconvenience anyone so that it does not happen in the future. Maintain it.
Where you are standing, it was here too. Now you don't see the shops anymore. No, no, I do n't see them anymore. They were all cloth shops. Many shops have all gone up. You see, everything has gone up.
Now you see how it is going well. The work has gone very well. It seems that yes, people can stand well. I mean, they can stand up. What else? If there were shops here, they would n't be able to stand up. The traffic jam would have been more.
I had a small puri shop. Did you get any permission or permission from the railway station? Sir, we did not get any permission.
We have been living here for three years, 40 years.
One or two years since my child was born. I have been living in Everest since I was 10 years old. We did not give money to anyone. We used to eat dal and roti. This is enough. The Port Commission was on the Gangadhar. We have a post office on that side. On the other side, the Gangadhar has destroyed everything. That is not a railway place, that is a pot place, but there was also an attack there.
It happened yesterday night. A day ago, he gave a notice that he would remove them.
Good thing he removed them. This is what happened. What do we want from the government now? This is what we want from the government. Our food, more or less, is dal, bread, our tea, family, children, or shops. Quite a few people have broken into shops. One or two shops have been broken into. Sir, we had our own shops. Was there any notice or anything? You were told that they would break them. I do n't know what kind of shop they had.
Our fruit shop was where it was. It wasn't in front. If the thing is moral, maybe it has been given to the common people. It will not be difficult. I hope that is why the government has the willpower. It is right. The thing cannot be given illegally. Of course it cannot be given. Of course it cannot be given. It said that it can be broken. The decision does n't seem right. If I said the thing, if it is done in the proper way, it is not right to keep the illegal thing.
All the illegal things should be legalized. They are doing the right thing. I think I was given a notice 15 days ago. The officers came and said that if you set up a shop from tomorrow, if you don't set up, I will pick you up and give you a thousand rupees. Okay sir. Then I went to the tea shop again and said, Sir, if I set up a shop somewhere else, don't say you have any problem.
I have no problem. You can leave the railway area and go anywhere. Those who couldn't move with their goods have been taken away. This is illegal in law.
This is good. Why is it that the problem of the people is that they have made the shops too small? Do you understand that the shops are too small?
People have made many applications to the DM for many things. They have done a lot for them.
They are not very welcoming.
We have done it right. Is there any right to demolish the shops and make a place for them. On the other hand, think about it as if they have a wife and son at work.
Despite the mixed reactions, most of them are saying that illegal things will continue. Why do everyone want the work to be done according to the law?
