Residents of Sweeper Colony in Bargarh's Ward No. 13 have submitted a memorandum to the District Collector protesting an eviction drive. The residents, many of whom are municipal sanitation workers living there for generations, demand proper rehabilitation before being evicted. While the municipality claims to have allocated alternative land, residents allege no such site has been shown to them. Concerned about the upcoming monsoon and the safety of children and the elderly, they requested the administration to prioritize rehabilitation over eviction. https://www.dharitri.com/first-resettle-then-demolish-sweeper-colony-residents-appeal-to-district-magistrate/ #creator program
