Villagers up in arms against demolitions
Sujay Mehdudia
Mahapanchayat of 360 villages has been convened at Hauz Khas to discuss
Lal Dora issue
NEW DELHI: Strong resentment seems to be brewing in the Capital's rural
belt over the recent Delhi High Court order to raze illegal commercial
properties in the Lal Dora areas of the city...
What has irked the villagers even more is the seeming failure of the
Congress-ruled Municipal Corporation of Delhi or the Sheila Dikshit
Government to speak on their behalf. Leaders from all the political
parties have been invited to take part in the Mahapanchayat that has been
convened at Hauz Khas village by former Member of Parliament Chaudhary Mir
Singh who also heads the Delhi Gram Vikas Manch...
Stating that no building by-laws were applicable in the rural villages of
the Capital and it was wrong to penalise the villagers, Nationalist
Congress Party MLA Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said it was high time Lal Dora was
reviewed and civic amenities were extended to such areas...
... However, the villagers, who had gathered on Friday at Jia Sarai
village to discuss the situation, asserted that they were strongly against
the builder mafia and they would not oppose demolition of those buildings
that have been constructed by outsiders...
