Displaced residents have filed a petition in the High Court challenging demolitions in Wasim and Fakir colonies, alleging that over 300 houses were razed without prior notice or consultation. Petitioners cite Supreme Court guidelines requiring show-cause notices and a 15-day window before eviction. They seek rehabilitation, alternative accommodation, and compensation for destroyed homes and belongings, including educational materials. The state urban development minister stated that only 90 families were found eligible for rehousing after a survey, disputing opposition claims of rehousing 400 families.
