NO MORE EVICTIONS

Federal Government submits report of Expert Working Group to Supreme Court on katchi abadis and low-income housing, as part of an effort to evolve an effective national policy on rehabilitation of katchi abadis and low-income housing in pursuance of Supreme Court orders. The report of the EWG states explicitly that there shall be no further evictions of katchi abadi residents until they are relocated as per resettlement plans. It further states that all government housing schemes will have adequate plots for low-income people at affordable prices. Supreme Court commends government for recognizing its constitutional obligations, calls on it to translate promises into reality, and provide a timeline for implementation.
