الهند: مستقبل غامض يهدد حياة 450 أسرة مسلمة

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

ما تزال 450 أسرة مسلمة من أهالي الأحياء الفقيرة - مثل: "كالينجار" و"كاماتيبورا" - ينتظرون مصيرهم بعد شكوى أهالي الأحياء التي انتقلوا إليها؛ حيث أعربوا عن عدم رغبتهم في وجود المسلمين وسطهم.

وقد طالَبت الأُسر المسلمة بنقلها إلى بعض الأحياء ذات الكثافة الإسلامية؛ حيث يُمكن توفُّر الوظائف والتعايش السلمي.

وقد رفض المسؤولون التعليق على الأزمة، التي يتسبب فيها العديد من الأطراف بلجان التخطيط المحلية، علاوة على غياب الرؤية، فضلاً عن دور المعارضة في وجود المسلمين بالمناطق الجديدة، وعدم وجود عضو مسلم باللجان المحلية؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

450 Muslim families stuck, Vadodara doesn’t want them next door

Last November, when authorities razed Vadodara’s Kalyannagar and Kamatipura slums, over 450 Muslim families were to be relocated to two housing projects in the city. But they now stare at an uncertain future because residents of the neighbourhood where they were being moved are “objecting”, saying they don’t want “problem elements” in their midst.

The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) had planned to relocate the families to Kalali, an upscale neighbourhood being promoted as New Manjalpur by leading developers, and Sayajipura.

According to the VMC department of Basic Service to Urban Poor (BSUP) and JNNURM Housing, some 1,900 homes were demolished in Kalyannagar and another 350 in the adjoining Kamatipura settlements.

Nearly 80 per cent of the evicted families are Muslims. Of these, 730 families from Kalyannagar have relocated to a housing scheme in Tarsali-Dabhoi Road and 656 to Maneja. Some 400 families from Kalyannagar will move to Sayajipura and the rest to a housing project in Kalali.

F J Charpot, executive engineer with the BSUP, JNNURM, said Kamatipura residents petitioned the Gujarat High Court last year, demanding in-situ relocation — as against the VMC decision to shift them to far-flung areas.

“The department filed an affidavit in the HC, stating our intention that as far as possible we will relocate the Kamatipura residents to Kalali, since it was their demand to be close to Tandalja location. According to our original survey, 362 families were to be relocated from Kamatipura after the demolition,” Charpot said.
