Alot (Madhya Pradesh): The Alot administration has issued notices to nearly 30 families in Langarkhedi village, many of whom have houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
Authorities asked residents to deposit a specified amount or face action, creating fear among families who claim to have lived there for decades.
The Akhil Bhartiya Ghumantu Vikas Mahasangh submitted a memorandum to the SDO (Revenue) through Naib Tehsildar Savita Rathore, stating that the families have been residing in the village for around 70 years.
Several households have permanent structures, and many have received or been approved for housing under the scheme.
Residents termed the notices unjustified and demanded their withdrawal. The organisation urged authorities to include the land within the village residential area. Villagers warned of protests if the issue is not resolved.
