Bulldozers Level Abuse-Tainted Indore Old Age Home
3 Aug
Summary
- Illegally constructed old age home demolished following abuse allegations.
- Elderly residents were relocated to safe and recognized care homes.
- Facility operated illegally under a water tank complex.
The Premashray old age home in Indore faced demolition on Monday due to alleged illegal construction and documented abuse of its elderly residents. A viral video depicting a staff member physically assaulting residents prompted immediate administrative action.
District authorities evacuated all vulnerable individuals and relocated them to safe, recognized care facilities. Subsequent investigations uncovered that the shelter was operating illegally beneath an Indore Municipal Corporation water tank complex. It had also unlawfully occupied an adjacent building designated for an Anganwadi center.
The Indore Municipal Corporation is now assessing options to utilize the cleared site. Officials have reiterated a firm stance against illegal land encroachments and the mistreatment of vulnerable populations, vowing continued strict legal action against non-compliant entities.
