Why it matters
The demolition targeted illegal structures built in low-lying, flood-prone areas where building activity is prohibited. Environmentalists warn that construction in these zones reduces the land's natural capacity to absorb excess water, which could worsen waterlogging and flooding during heavy rainfall.
