Notably, the local businessmen at the area had kept their shops closed on June 4, 2010 in protest of the municipal notices to 42 shopkeepers to vacate the shops in 48 hours. The businessmen had demanded that unless the RMC and RDA rehabilitate them elsewhere and provide them compensation package, they would not vacate their shops.
The businessmen had also sought intervention of PWD Minister Brijmohan Agrawal and Urban Administration and Development Minister Rajesh Munat into this matter.
Earlier, they had held talks with the RDA’s CEO Amit Kataria who had assured them that the project would only commence when the RMC would announce compensation package for them and rehabilitate them in some other place.
Ramsagar Para residents create scene at Nalghar
Alleges RMC apathetic towards water scarcity problem of the ward
vandalise furniture, window glasses
Police file crime against corporator, 25 others
Raipur, June 07, 2010
About 25-30 residents of Ramsagar Para ward led by their corporator Ritesh Tripathi on Monday vandalise the municipal properties including furniture, fans and window glasses at its office at Nalghar holding the relevant officials responsible for not solving the problem of water crisis in their area in spite of their repeated reminders in the past. The residents have cautioned the RMC administration that they would stage dharna and aggressive agitate against the municipal administration if their problem would not be solved.
However, scared and infuriated by the violent behavior of the corporator Tripathi and the ward residents, the RMC administration lodged written complaint against them with the Kotwali police after the incident. The police have filed crime against Tripathi and 25 others under Section 353, 294, 506, 427 of IPC and Section 3 of Defacement of Property Act.
Later, CSP Manisha Thakur reached Nalghar office and recorded the statements of the municipal officials and employees who were present during the incident
Earlier, the Ramsagar Para residents first reached Zone-7 office to meet the officials, but when they did not find any responsible person to listen their problem, they reached Nalghar office where they had heated exchanges with Executive Engineer of Water Works department KK Singh and other staff. They asked Singh why the ward’s water crisis problem had been ignored by the Zone Commissioner and the relevant officials when they had complained about it several times. However, Singh could not give them satisfactory answer and they started vandalising furniture and other items of the office.
Later, corporator Tripathy said that the residents were severely upset with the indifferent attitude of the civic officials who always made false promises, but never take appropriate measures. He informed that the areas like Samta colony, and from Agrasen chowk to Telghani Naka chowk face acute water crisis every summer, but the RMC did not frame any effective strategy to deal such recurring problems.
