Chandigarh, December 22

The coordinaton committee of the CHB Residents’ Welfare Federation held a flash rally in Sector 44 here today.

A large number of CHB residents attended the rally. This was the fifth of the series of flash rallies being held in support of one-time settlement on need-based changes till the consensual redevelopment of the congested areas of the CHB belt.

Councillors Devinder Singh Babla, Ravinder Kaur Gujral, Shipra Bansal and two members of the board, Prem Kaushik, and Subeena Bansal, were attended the meeting.

The residents said when slum-dwellers were rehabilitated by spending public money, why two lakh CHB residents who had spent their hard-earned money to provide shelter to their growing families were being meted out a heartless treatment by razing their shelters or cancelling the ownership. The demolition of their houses and the cancellation of the ownership of these people should be immediately stopped, they said.
