Medha Patkar questions eviction of slum dwellers, scrapping of GO 111

Renowned social activist and advisor to the National Alliance of People’s Movements Medha Patkar expressed solidarity with the evicted residents of the Teegalaguda slum in Moosarambagh, and called for in-situ development of residential quarters for them with all facilities.

Calling the eviction inhuman, Ms. Patkar, who interacted with the victims on Friday, sought to appeal to the foundational principles on which the movement for a separate State of Telangana was based eight years ago.

“I don’t think KCR, whose government issued GO 58 and built housing for the poor, is a man like Modi,” she said, noting that the “PM’s government does not hold any dialogue”.
