Residents Targeted for Eviction in Haldwani Claim Political Motivation Behind Decision

Many of the over 4,500 families who have been termed ‘encroachers’ and ordered to leave the Muslim-majority Banbhoolpura area after a legal tussle with the North Eastern Railway possess ownership documents for their homes.

SC Stays HC Order on Haldwani Eviction: 'Can't Uproot 50,000 People in 7 Days'

The Supreme Court has stayed an order of the Uttarakhand high court directing the removal of occupants from land allegedly owned by the Railways in Haldwani.

A division bench of the Uttarakhand high court led by Sharat Kumar Sharma had on December 20, 2022, granted seven days to remove the families from the Banbhoolpura region.

Over 4,000 families residing in the area near the Haldwani railway station thus faced eviction, despite claiming that they have been living on the land near the railway lines for over 40 years now. Reports said that government schools also came up on this land.
