New Delhi: Authorities, after a short Eid-ul-Adha breather, are continuing demolition work in the Dalmandi area of Varanasi.

According to Global Mirror, the PWD’s road-widening push resumed with force, and by evening, the skyline looked a little different — more than 60 buildings, including six mosques, were reduced to rubble.

Officials say 15 houses came down on Saturday alone, though some on-the-ground reports put the number closer to 18 — a mix of three old structures and 15 freshly marked ones.

Nearly 200 police personnel, paramilitary units, and administrative officers fanned out across the lanes, with ACP Dashashwamedh Atul Anjan overseeing the operation. Drone cameras buzzed overhead, keeping watch while excavators did their job.
