Raipur, October 25, 2011
The Congress has demanded proper rehabilitation for displaced Amanaka shopkeepers from district administration. In this connection, a delegation of Congress members led by DCC Raipur Urban president Inderchand Dhariwal met Collector Dr Rohit Yadav and submitted a memorandum demanding quick rehabilitation of the shopkeepers on Tuesday.
Notably, the Amanaka shopkeepers were evicted on October 19, two days ahead of arrival of BJP veteran leader LK Advani who addressed a public rally in the city under his anti-corruption yatra.
“It was unfortunate that the government evicted the shopkeepers just a couple of days before Diwali. These shopkeepers were operating their business for the past 35 years. Now they are jobless. They do not even have money to celebrate the festival. The government should have at least shifted them elsewhere,” said Dhariwal.
The Congress demanded from the Collector that the displaced shopkeepers should either be provided space near the same location where they had been doing their business for years or to construct new shops for them in the premises of old state road transport office at Amanaka.
The Collector assured the delegation that he would soon hold talk with RMC Commissioner RS Toppo regarding rehabilitation of the shopkeepers.
The delegation was comprised of DCC vice president Madan Lal Taleda, DCC spokesperson Sheikh Shakeel, Dinesh Tiwari, Surendra Choudhary along with president of Amanaka Vyapari Sangh Badriprasad Mishra.
