Protesters have put up tents on Mannammoola plot since 2015, raising demands
The city Corporation is making yet another attempt to resolve the land issues and revive the housing project for Scheduled Caste (SC) families proposed at Mannammoola. Since 2015, the 1.72 acres of land has been occupied by a few families under the leadership of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Ambedkar Democratic Party of India, who have put up tents here. On Friday, the Corporation convened an all-party meeting, involving local leaders of various political parties to discuss the issue. However, the BSP leaders stayed away from the meeting. The civic body plans to construct flat complexes here for landless and homeless SC families, under the LIFE (Livelihood Inclusion and Financial Empowerment) housing project.More Related News
