Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): Following the order of Madhya Pradesh High Court, the district administration has identified 1000 families to be rehabilitated from Madanmahal hill to Tewar locality in Jabalpur district.
On March 29, the administration team reached Dargah and the rear part of the gas godown locality and shifted 60 families to Tewar. The district administration said that the process would be continued continuously till all the families shifted from here. The land for the families was allotted in Tewar.
SDM, Tehsildar, CSP, police personnel and municipal corporation employees were engaged in shifting the families. Government vehicles were arranged for transporting the household goods in the rehabilitation of the families.
The administration claimed that the work of construction on the allotted land had started and they were gradually rehabilitating the families. A few families, however, opposed the rehabilitation but the administration was trying to convince them following the court’s order. The administration also assured them to provide a systematic plot there.
A petition, however, filed on behalf of the families challenging the court's order is pending in the High Court.
