Law enforcement authorities have detained at least 30 individuals in connection with the violence and arson. Police officials emphasized that regular eviction drives will continue at the Mirpur 10 intersection, confirming that formal criminal cases will be filed against those responsible for attacking civil servants and destroying public property.
