In this connection, the businessmen had also met RDA’s CEO Amit Kataria who had assured them that the project would only commence when they would be rehabilitated in some other place.
However, in spite of Kataria’s assurances, notices were served to 44 businessmen from Telghani Naka chowk to Rathore chowk. The infuriated businessmen met PWD Minister Brijmohan Agrawal and Urban Administration and Development Minister Rajesh Munat on Thursday night and sought their support.
They also met municipal Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary who informed them that the notices were served by mistake. He assured the businessmen that the RMC would not force the businessmen to vacate the land unless it would come up with proper rehabilitation plan and compensation package for them.
