Residents seek land to build houses
The Hindu
They demand a 20-acre govt. land
Residents of Surendar Nagar near Emerald got together to voice their opposition on Wednesday to plans by the district administration to build houses for people living in temporary relief shelters and surrounding areas. According to the police, the residents had been petitioning the district administration demanding that a 20-acre piece of government land be allotted to them as private patta so that they can build houses. However, on Tuesday, preparations were made to build houses for people still living in temporary relief shelters where they had been staying for more than two years, and also for people from surrounding areas.More Related News
