Nagpur: The Kamal Chowk–Dighori flyover project in Nagpur has been in the spotlight for several days after a viral video showed a section of the under-construction flyover passing dangerously close through the balcony of a residential building at Ashok Chowk.

On Wednesday, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) began demolishing the disputed portion of the house using heavy machinery.

The viral video had sparked widespread criticism, with citizens questioning the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the construction company. In response, NHAI clarified that the house was an illegal encroachment built beyond its permitted limits, while the flyover was being constructed within the designated alignment. NMC had already issued notices to the homeowner regarding the encroachment.
