IndiaFive engineers from Surat Municipal Corporation were suspended after the Gujarat High Court criticized the authorities for demolishing over 100 homes in Nasirnagar without proper legal procedures. The demolition, which occurred between May 30 and June 1, targeted a slum area, and no government agency initially claimed responsibility. Residents filed a petition against the action, leading to judicial scrutiny.
