Currently, severe cold is falling in Punjab, while the homeless people in Jalandhar’s Latifpura are forced to spend nights without a roof in the snowy nights. Union Minister Som Prakash wrote a letter to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann demanding the rehabilitation of these displaced people.
Som Prakash said in the letter that the demolition campaign by the administration in village Latifpura has rendered many families homeless. He said that the demolition operation was carried out during inclement weather and without proper demarcation. Old men, children and women are forced to sleep under the open sky during the freezing cold nights. He said that I personally visited the place and saw that the affected families need immediate rehabilitation and adequate compensation.
