Kogilu Layout evictions: Organisations place demand before govt. during public meeting
Families evicted from their homes in Kogilu Layout, Bengaluru, met with organizations and demanded permanent rehabilitation, property deeds, temporary facilities, and an assurance against forced relocation. The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is facing pressure to expedite the allotment of houses promised for January 1st, as the final count of eligible beneficiaries remains undetermined. Women’s, minority, and Dalit organizations, along with CITU leader Umesh, participated in a protest demanding justice for the evicted families. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has condemned the government's move and announced protests, while Zia Nomani, program director of a law and policy research institute, filed a complaint against Leader of the Opposition R. Ashok for his alleged "provocative" statements.
