CHANDIGARH, Nov 22 — Mr Satya Pal Jain, a former MP, has urged the Chandigarh Administration not to uproot jhuggi dwellers until alternative sites are offered to them. He was addressing a public meeting in Palsora colony yesterday.
Mr Jain said that the Chandigarh Administration had decided that all those who were living in colonies on December 8, 1996, and had cast their vote in the last corporation elections would be rehabilitated. The Administration had also declared that it would not allow any fresh jhuggis in the union territory.
Criticising the Administration, he said that instead of rehabilitation, the Administration demolished Gowala Colony without any prior warning or notice. He also criticised the local MP for his failure to pressurise the Administration in stopping all such actions.
