New Delhi:Â Human rights experts at the United Nations have called on the Indian government to stop the eviction of nearly 1,00,000 people, including 20,000 children and 5,000 pregnant or breastfeeding women, from Faridabad’s Khori Gaon in Haryana, which was designated as a protected forest in 1992.
The local administration, which began its demolition exercise last week amidst the current monsoon season, aims to completely raze down the settlement by July 19, after the Supreme Court had failed to provide relief to residents who moved the court against the evictions and demolition.
