Slum dwellers petition YSR

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, JUNE 13. Slum dwellers of A.P.J. Abdul Kalamnagar in Saidabad have appealed to the Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, to take steps for allotment of pattas to daily wage labourers living there and collect land value charges.

In a memorandum submitted to Dr. Reddy here on Sunday, a copy of which was released to the press, the slum dwellers said they were living in the area, measuring 51 acres, for the last two decades and had been representing to the higher authorities to declare it as a slum and provide pattas.Without taking cognisance of their application the State Government had allocated the land to two different housing societies, hence there was an urgent need to prevent the poor from being evicted from the land. The slum dwellers also sought provision of adequate civic amenities like drinking water, sewerage and power connections for which the people were ready to pay the necessary charges.
