Kangra Evictions: Rain, Ruin, and a State’s Silence
Seven impoverished Scheduled Caste families in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, find themselves homeless and destitute following a court order on July 28, 2025. Their homes were demolished, leaving them exposed to heavy rains and without shelter.
The families lost all their belongings in the demolition and currently lack access to food and essential supplies. The situation is dire, with no immediate prospects for resettlement.
Adding insult to injury, no government official has yet offered assistance or support to these vulnerable families. Their plight highlights a critical gap in the state’s social safety net.
The affected families have appealed for urgent state intervention, pleading for immediate relief and long-term solutions to their housing crisis. This incident underscores the urgent need for stronger protective measures for vulnerable communities facing eviction. The lack of timely government response raises serious questions about the state’s commitment to its most marginalized citizens. The incident demands immediate attention to prevent similar tragedies and ensure the welfare of vulnerable communities.
