Inhuman and Illegal Demolition and Eviction at Hampi Bazaar
A fact finding report
30 March 2012
In July 2011, the district administration authorities of Hampi, one of the most important tourist destinations in India, demolished more than 200 shops located in the historic Hampi Bazaar, and justified the act by claiming the shops were illegal encroachments. Some of the shops had homes attached to them, and this inhuman demolition forced hundreds of people on to the streets, with no access to basic facilities such as housing, sanitation, medical facilities and clean water. EQUATIONS conducted a fact-finding on the demolition and subsequent eviction.
