    Feel very sad for these people when I see the way they are living. From one side there seem to be massive development in infrastructure etc but wonder if these are flowing to the ordinary poor people. I hope the development will lead to better living standards for most of the people rather than a few who are involved in these mega projects.

    From the cadjan huts it is obvious to anyone that these are of very recent vintage, not more than a few weeks.

    At a time some influential people building hotels around Nature Reserves, why these poor people being penalised?

    "The Minister said that the Muslim families alleged to be resettled in the controversial region had been living there for long time"
    This statement seems false. Take a look at the temporary huts, it appears they were erected very recently. Some thing is not right here. It appears fraudulent.
