Admin should look into our hardships, say dwellers; Div Com says building unsafe, lease granted has expired, those having grievances should approach officials for redressal

As per the notice issued by Executive Magistrate 1st Class, Tehsildar South Srinagar, the families are living there illegally and that if they don’t vacate from the Sarai within set time frame, legal action would be initiated against them as warranted under the law.
Abdul Rashid, an elderly person, presently living at Sarai said that it has been almost 66 years that their families are living here.
“At present 50 families living here would become homeless if we are forced to vacate the building ,” he said. “If the government needs this building for some other purpose, the authorities should make some alternative arrangements for the families,” he added.
