The Nuh administration had started a demolition drive in the violence-hit district last week. They have demolished more than 750 buildings since the drive began. Officials on Sunday said they had demolished houses, shops and illegal structures in Nuh that were built on government land and were used by suspects involved in the communal clashes.
