In the national capital Delhi, the Land and Development Office has started a big action to remove encroachment from about 32 acres of land. Since this morning, houses built here in Khyber, adjacent to Civil Lines, Delhi, are being demolished with the help of bulldozers. The Land and Development Office had issued a notice to all the house owners after surveying this area last month. In this, everyone was asked to vacate the house immediately and remove the encroachment.
After this notice, the people living here also protested a lot at the Civil Lines Police Station. During this time, people had blocked the ring road. The protesters allege that they have been living here for about 70-80 years. At the time of independence, when the British officers started leaving from here, they gave this entire land to their servants. After that, no officer came here for 70 years. Whereas in this period, two of his generations have passed away.
The notice was issued last month
Now suddenly the Land and Development Office has given them a notice, declaring their house illegal. After so many days, the government is hell bent on making them homeless. The house owners questioned that where should they go suddenly leaving their settled household. Local people told that they have made small houses by saving their whole life. Many people have also taken loans for this. Now that the government has demolished their house, how will they repay the loan.
