Kolkata slum residents fight eviction without rehabilitation plan
Residents of the Dhakuria slum settlement in Kolkata have protested for weeks against an eviction notice that provides no rehabilitation arrangement. The notice, part of West Bengal's new clearance drive, has left residents without alternative housing options or resettlement plans.
The protest highlights the human cost of the state's slum clearance initiative, with affected families facing displacement without adequate support or relocation assistance. Residents have demanded that authorities provide a concrete rehabilitation plan before proceeding with the eviction.
