PESHAWAR: Final notices have been issued to the homeowners of famed Bollywood legends Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor’s ancestral homes as plans to begin restoration will take place after Eid.
Speaking to
Geo News, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Archaeology and Museums Department Director Dr Abdul Samad said that restoration work will take place following the take over of the two houses. The deputy commissioner has sent the final notices to the landlord, he said.
Furthermore, the owners, who will be summoned on May 18, can submit their objections to which the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government or court may order an increase in the price of the houses.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government of Pakistan has set the legal process rolling to buy the ancestral houses of two Indian film legendary actors and friends Dilip Kumar and the late Raj Kapoor, in Peshawar.
The KP government has enacted a necessary section of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 of the state, which authourises the government to take possession of both the houses on emergency basis.
The amount will soon be released to the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Peshawar for payment to the landowners.
The price of Dilip Kumar’s four unit (101 square metre) house has been fixed at $50,517 while that of Raj Kapoor’s six unit house (151.75 square metre) at $94,061 by the Archeological Department of Pakistan.
