Forty Muslim families were forced to spend chilling days and nights under the open sky after their houses were demolished by the Forest Department in #Ambikapur, #Surguja, #Chhattisgarh, on Monday.

The demolition took place three days after the state Forest Minister, #KedarKashyap, visited Surguja district.

There are 200 houses on forest land, but only the houses of #Muslim families were demolished. Sixty families were served notices on Friday evening.

Earlier, in 2017, a campaign was launched against these residents, demanding their removal from the area by labeling them as “Rohingya.”
