  "account": "On Friday, the Indore Municipal Corporation began demolishing portions of buildings in Indore's Chhawni area to widen Chhawni Road as part of the city's Master Plan. Officials and workers used three Poclain machines and two JCBs to remove sections of the Mathurawala building and other structures obstructing the road widening project. The operation, carried out at Chhawni Square, involved both manual removal and heavy machinery. Prior to this, several constructions in the area had been removed manually. Police were present to ensure order was maintained. No disputes or incidents were reported during the operation. The additional Municipal Commissioner, Prakhar Singh, announced that the drive aimed to complete pending removal work along Chhawni Road. He stated that the civic body demolished the balcony of one house and parts of other buildings obstructing the proposed widened road. The previous removal drive in May had also led to political opposition, with the Congress organizing a Jan Adhikar Yatra in the area. In the earlier operation, homeopathic doctor Kapil Dixit sustained an injury after an electricity pole fell on his head due to entangled wires with a machine. The Mathurawala building, where removal work was carried out on Friday, is another old structure with five floors and a basement.",
