New Delhi: Supreme Court has asked the state of Haryana to expedite the process of finalising policy on rehabilitation of people who have been evicted from Khori Gaon where they had encroached the land illegally. The bench comprising Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice Dinesh Maheswari asked the commissioner of the Faridabad Municipal corporation to extend his office in Radhaswamy area where the evicted people have been given temporary shelter, food and water, to address their grievances.
The court in its previous order had directed that commissioner to take care of the grievance regarding food and shelter. It was contended today that in situation of the COVID19, it would be difficult for the people to travel to Faridabad main city and hence office should be set up somewhere nearby. Court has asked commissioner to submit a status report which should indicate the outcome of representations made by people for shelter.
