Forcible Evacuation

At least 32 people, including 12 police personnel, were injured on Wednesday as forcible evacuation of a scrap dealer's shop allegedly by supporters of a local politician took a communal turn in Roorkee in Uttarakhand's Haridwar district, prompting authorities to impose prohibitory orders.

With the danger of flood looming large in the Kosi belt along Bihar-Nepal border, the Bihar government on Sunday ordered forcible evacuation of people living in the space between the river and its embankments in nine districts of the state.
