In view of the VIP event in Sheoppur, Madhya Pradesh, the government is constructing the road overnight. As a result, riots broke out during roadworks at midnight on Monday. A young man performed high-voltage drama in protest by lying in front of a police station car. Road construction work is going on overnight for the Vijpur by-election, people said.
In fact, people claimed that the government demolished around 20 houses that were declared encroachments to widen the road. However, the government did not demolish more than 15 houses while building the road. Around 12 pm on Monday, road construction was seen taking place and people accused the government of discriminatory behavior in taking anti-encroachment action.
