Update: When Silence Continues, People Are Forced to Take to the Streets

For years, 440 families of Samta Nagar have followed every lawful path. We wrote letters. We held meetings. We approached authorities. We trusted assurances.

But when every door remains closed, when every promise remains unfulfilled, and when every authority remains silent — what option is left?

People are now on the streets.

🎥 Watch the ground reality here:

When Silence Continues, People Are Forced to Take to the Streets

This is not a protest of choice.
This is a protest of helplessness.

No family wants to leave their daily struggle for survival and stand on the road demanding what is rightfully theirs. But when the system stops responding, the road becomes the only place left to be heard.

Ask yourself:

• Why were 440 families forced to come on the streets after 6 years of waiting?
• Why has no authority acted despite valid permissions (IOD 2017, CC 2020)?
• Why is a termination notice by 12 societies being ignored?
• Why are senior citizens, who gave their lifetime savings, left to suffer like this?
• Why is MHADA silent despite being a signatory and custodian of public trust?
• Why are commitments made under “Housing for All” not being upheld in reality?

Both the State and Central governments are led by the same leadership. Then why is there no accountability? Why are 440 voices still unheard?

This is not just administrative delay anymore.
This is institutional negligence.

We are not asking for favors.
We are asking for enforcement of law, accountability, and dignity.

Coming onto the streets is not our preference — it is the last step when every system meant to protect citizens fails.

We still believe in justice.
But how long must we wait for it?

440 families are watching.
440 families are waiting.
440 families are asking — will anyone listen?
