Police Resort to Lathi-Charge Amidst Eviction Protests at Jadavpur Station

Police arrested at least five people after using force against protesters blocking a hawker eviction drive at Jadavpur railway station.

Jadavpur MP Saayoni Ghosh criticized the eviction as unjust, questioning the government's intentions toward the poor.
