Demolition of Former TMC MLA Jahangir Khan's House Begins in West Bengal's Falta
Authorities in West Bengal's Falta began demolishing a multi-storey house belonging to former TMC MLA Jahangir Khan over alleged illegal construction. The district administration initiated the action following complaints, court approval, and multiple notices to Khan, who did not comply. BJP leaders Bidhan Padui and Debanshu Panda supported the demolition, citing legal procedures and alleging suppression of democracy in the area. The administration proceeded after Khan failed to respond to orders to remove unauthorized portions.
