| Sadal displaced families remain homeless after 13 years | | |  Early Times Report
Udhampur, Aug 8: The displaced families of Sadal village have been waiting for permanent rehabilitation for the past 13 years, but their long-pending demand for land and shelter remains unresolved.
The affected families recently approached District Congress Committee (DCC) President Sumeet Magotra and apprised him of the hardships they have been facing.
They informed him that a list of 38 persons had originally been prepared for allotment of land, but later 11 names were reportedly deleted from the list.
Taking up the issue, Magotra accompanied the affected families to the Tehsildar’s office and met the concerned Tehsildar, urging the administration to restore the 11 deleted names after proper verification.
Magotra said that if the affected persons were eligible and had already been included in the original list, their removal without providing a clear justification was unfair.
He called for a thorough verification of the entire list and stressed that every eligible displaced family should receive its rightful entitlement.
Expressing concern over the living conditions of the families, Magotra said that even after 13 years of displacement, they continue to live in extremely difficult circumstances. During the ongoing rainy season, he said, several families are being forced to stay with their small children under torn tarpaulins and damaged roofs.
“Whenever it rains, water enters their shelters, making it extremely difficult for these families to even sleep at night. No one appears to be taking care of those who have been forced to live in such miserable conditions,” Magotra said.
Questioning BJP MP Dr Jitendra Singh, Magotra said that Sadal village was reportedly adopted by the MP around 13 years ago, yet the displaced families continue to face the same hardships.
He questioned why the plight of these displaced families had not been adequately addressed and what concrete steps had been taken over the years to resolve their rehabilitation issue.
“Simply announcing that a village has been adopted does not fulfil the responsibility. What is needed today is to visit these displaced families, see their condition firsthand and ensure that they receive their rightful dues,” Magotra said. |
