The meeting was presided over by Balkrishan. The members of the party criticised the unsympathetic attitude of the administration towards the people of Dadumajra, Maloya, Palsora, Kajheri and Hallomajra villages.

While addressing the meeting, Chandigarh CPI (M) secretary A.Sawhney said the administration decided to include the five villages in Municipal Corporation on September 19, 2006, but no improvement in condition of sanitation, streetlights and roads has been done so far.

He said that recently the municipal corporation has issued a notice to the residents of villages to shift their cattle and dairies immediately without providing them an alternative site to relocate their primary sources of livelihood.

He demanded the administration and corporation to provide alternative site for dairies and cattle, regularise the residential properties built outside the Village Circular Road and ensure proper aanitation and streetlight.

CPI (M) has also demanded the compensation for the villagers for acquiring the land and said that it should be provided at market price.
