An eviction drive conducted by the Slum Development Board and police on Thursday was met with stiff resistance from affected families at Agrahara Dasarahalli. In 2014, the Board built 65 flats (G+3) using BBMP funds, of which 35 flats were allotted to beneficiaries identified by the civic body. The authorities claim that the remaining flats were being occupied illegally by various families.
On Thursday morning, officials landed in the area with heavy police force, including women personnel, to evict 17 families accused of illegal occupation.
