6K Plot Holders Threaten Stir Over 33-Year Delay
In Indore, Madhya Pradesh, about 6,000 people who bought plots in a housing scheme are very upset.
They paid a lot of money, almost Rs 5.84 crore, but the government has not given them the papers to build their homes.
The original plan started in 1993 but was canceled.
A new plan in 2009 is also stuck.
They say if the government doesn't help in 10 days, they will protest.
Some people have even died waiting.
The area has also seen illegal buildings because of the delay.
6,000 plot holders in Indore threaten protest over 33-year delay in Scheme No. 171.
Plot holders deposited Rs 5.84 crore but no official notification issued in 18 months.
Original Scheme No. 132 launched in 1993 was quashed by the High Court.
Scheme No. 171 introduced in 2009 remains stalled, causing frustration.
Plot holders demand immediate release of the scheme or face large-scale agitation.
