Residents spurn meeting on Ranchi light house project
Slum dwellers want location shifted, corporation working on fresh dates for talks
Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC)’s attempt to hold talks with residents of 26 slums at Jagannathpur in Dhurwa, majority of whom are against the Centre’s ambitious light house project coming up in their area, failed to materialise on Thursday as no one turned up.
The civic body, which functions under the state urban development department, is now working out fresh dates for a meeting to convince the residents of the utility of the project that involves construction of low-cost homes out of prefabricated structures.
