Nashik: Parking space has been made in the Gauri Patangan complex of Panchavati. But in front of the poor 95 families residing at this place for the last 30 years, the concern of getting uprooted from here has increased. The very poor people living here, who are living by making their shelter in some way, do not want to go from here. But by the Municipal Encroachment Department, their shelter is always broken by taking action here. Then they have to take shelter at the roadside place behind. After the action, they come back to their place.
These families are facing not one but many problems. They don’t have work. Their house is run by alms or food grains and money donated by someone. But now there is a crisis in their place of residence. They have small children who are forced to live in some kind of shelter built in this cold. These children can also become victims of malnutrition if they do not get proper nutrition and do not get food.
