THE district administration said that families displaced during the removal of encroachments from government land in Sammanpur (Nakti) have been shifted to housing units in Sector-30, Naya Raipur. According to officials, the remaining affected cases involved only boundary walls, and those families already owned houses in the village, making them ineligible for rehabilitation housing under existing norms. Raipur West MLA Anuj Sharma said that no injustice would be done to genuinely needy persons during the drive against illegal encroachments on government land. He stated that the government was fully committed to ensuring proper rehabilitation of displaced families and had already held discussions with the village sarpanch and local residents on the issue.

 

Sharma appealed to people not to pay attention to rumours and alleged that some individuals were attempting to disturb the atmosphere in the village. He said the government had always stood with the villagers and would continue to do so. Officials said the rehabilitated families have been provided housing, electricity, drinking water and other essential facilities. Arrangements have also been made for dinner on Sunday night as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner on Monday. The administration added that food, drinking water, healthcare services, transportation and other necessary support are being provided continuously at the rehabilitation site to ensure that displaced families do not face inconvenience.
