“There are people living here, who are undergoing treatment of severe diseases, and some are even handicapped, how will such people go? People living here don't have enough money to go and live even on rent,” Kumari added.As the demolition drive began on Monday, residents of Adarsh Colony in Chandigarh were seen taking away their household articles in small vans and even on cycle carts in a desperate attempt to save their possessions.Jagdish Sharma, who has been living in Adarsh Colony for the last 20 years, said that the administration has left the slum residents on the road, without any hope of any rehabilitation.“The administration has planned nothing for rehabilitation of the colony residents, and have come with the bulldozers and earth movers for carrying out the demolition. Where will everyone go now, does anyone even care,” he asked.Bimla Kumari, who resides with her in-laws, said that there is no hope left. “Our whole family has been living here for more than two decades. Earlier, people from political parties have been coming here to us, asking for votes, and had promised that in return, they will get us houses, but today no political person has come to help us,” she said.“There are people living here, who are undergoing treatment of severe diseases, and some are even handicapped, how will such people go? People living here don’t have enough money to go and live even on rent,” Kumari added.Meanwhile, Senior Deputy Mayor of Chandigarh Jasbir Singh Bunty, who visited the Adarsh Colony, during the demolition drive slammed the demolition action.“Poor people have been forced to stay on the road. We are not against making the city slum-free, but at least rehabilitation of the residents living here for the past 30 years should have been done,” he said.
