Delegation meets PM

NEW DELHI, OCT. 14. A group of social activists belonging to the Human Rights Law Network, the Nivara Hakk Welfare Centre and other non-government organisations today met the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, and the Congress President, Sonia Gandhi, demanding that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government ensure that the urban poor were not forcibly evicted and that adequate housing arrangements were made for them near the place of occupation and livelihood.

Drawing the attention of the two leaders towards the recent eviction drive carried out by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) in its area, the activists, led by actress-turned-politician, Shabana Azmi, urged them to intervene to ensure that the civic body does not demolish women's shelter homes in the Capital.
