Indefinite Protests Demand Housing for Landless Families
Imagine many families who don't have their own homes.
They've been asking for land to build on for a long time.
Some families in one village were promised plots six years ago but haven't gotten them.
Now, these families and others without homes are very upset and started protesting.
They're sitting and waiting, even in the rain, until they get the land they need.
They want the local government to give them homes and build new ones for the homeless.
Over ten thousand people in the city don't have land, and they want the government to care about them.
Families in Kuppepadavu village launched an indefinite protest seeking land and homes.
Protests started on Tuesday and entered their second day.
Protesters demand the distribution of allocated plots, despite receiving title deeds six years ago.
An action committee protested in front of the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC).
The protesters demand the immediate completion and distribution of G+5 and G+3 model houses.
