In Indira Nagar Chhapra in Kalol, 500 families are facing demolition of their homes, to make way for a garden. The bull dozers were ready to raze them, and they were not even given any notice to remove their belongings.
A stay order in the high court has stopped it for the time being. But one never knows.
The uncertainty is hanging in the air. I felt it as I walked through the entire colony.
There are those who believe that anyone occupying land should be removed from it. Then what? Where will they go? Why are they here? Have we taken care of the problem?
Why would anyone want to leave their own homes to come and live like this? Think about it.
