Beijing - The residents of about 1,190 households are fighting a decision by the local government in Hengshui, Hebei province, to relocate them, with many fearing that violent measures will be used to force them out of their homes.

Three residential areas near a lake were earmarked for demolition to make way for a square and a park, which the local government views as one of the most important projects for the city this year.

The Xiangyuan area, which is included in the plan, consists of 22 residential buildings constructed between 1999 and 2005.
