Jhuggi demolished 9 months back, No new houses yet...

Bhagirath Verma from Basti Bachao Sangharsh Samiti in Raipur in Chhattisgarh is talking to women of 3 bastis which were demolished earlier this year. The women say they have been given alternative land at far off place from where it takes Rs 30 to come and go whereas they earn less than Rs 100 in a day. Govt had promised houses in 6 months but it is more than 9 months. They demand them to be taken back in their old place. For more Bhagirath Ji can be reached at 09039142049
