At Jaisinghpura Khor, a community kitchen for nearly 250 people was held by the Jaipur Municipal Corporation and Jaipur Development Authority as dozens of families shifted at their newly allotted apartments on Thursday. These families were among 541 families being rehabilitated from Khadda Basti, an ‘illegal’ settlement on government land at Mooti Dungari municipality zone.
At Jaisinghpura Khor, a community kitchen for nearly 250 people was held by the Jaipur Municipal Corporation and Jaipur Development Authority as dozens of families shifted at their newly allotted apartments on Thursday. These families were among 541 families being rehabilitated from Khadda Basti, an ‘illegal’ settlement on government land at Mooti Dungari municipality zone.
A recent high court order has called for a time-bound evacuation of the illegal occupation by October 8, the residents were asked to voluntarily evacuate by October 5 after which the authorities were allowed to use force. In a display of the force option, the civic bodies along with police teams had been patrolling the area for past few days as the evacuation deadline approaches.
However, the officials feel that use of force will not be necessary. “As of now, we have seen support from the locals and nearly 400 of these have been awarded possession letters of the alternative houses and will shift soon,” assured a senior JMC officer. The remaining families are also informed to have applied for the compensation package and their applications are under process.
As the civic bodies only have the weekends time to evacuate the slum, they have also provisioned for nearly 70 tractor trolleys to help the residents shift their furniture and goods. The residents voluntarily vacating the buildings will be allowed to do so and the evacuation drive will be initiated cautiously on Friday. It will get more forceful in days to follow.
Convinced that evacuation is ineluctable, the affected residents are also displaying co-operation. Most of them turned to deposit the base amount for allotment of the compensatory house on last day of voluntary evacuation deadline.
