UN Expert On Housing "Deeply Concerned" Over Forced Evictions In Indian Capital (UN Press Release)

The Special Rapporteur on adequate housing of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Miloon Kothari, issued a statement expressing his concern about the practice of forced evictions in India generally, and in New Delhi particularly.

He is specifically concerned about the forced eviction of women and children from Palika hostel that has pushed over 100 homeless women and children back on the streets.

The Special Rapporteur calls on responsible government bodies to immediately provide alternative housing for the displaced women and children in an adequate shelter, close to the original location of Palika Hostel.

Will the NDMC respond?
