The violent incidents of October 29, 2025—initially disguised as peaceful demonstrations—have left behind significant destruction across parts of the city, resulting in heavy losses to public and private property.
Public infrastructure, including local government offices, fuel stations, vehicles, and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations, were set ablaze during the unrest, causing disruption to essential services and daily activities.
