People could'nt even bring documents ,money,itna bhi time nahi diya.Someone has daughter's wedding soon, he was crying on tv that what'll I do now.Two elders have died of heart attack with the shock of the situation
I don't know if that's actually what happened there because it's difficult to believe. Let me tell you one incidence from my place. I live in Jammu and people have encroached the area near airport. Municipality has been sending notice to them for past 5 years. Now the entrance of airport is to be extended as it is quite congested and govt has again issued reminder and warned them too. They have also given a deadline. And you won't believe people are still taking it lightly and no ready to vacate the place. And I personally asked a local of that area about the situation and what are they planning on shifting their shop and I was surprised/shocked with the reply. He casually stated k madam ji, pichle paanch saal se bol rahe h yeh log, aaj tak kuch nahi kiya to ab kya karenge. Wo hai na kya bolte hain activist, wo ayenge aur report karenge. Kuch nahi hoga. And then people are like k govt to kuch b nai karti.
