Built by the Kerala State Muslim League Relief Committee and the Citizen Relief Service of Shah-e-Alam, initially 30 families moved in to Citizen Nagar — it now has a population of around 800. Asif had lost nearly two years of school before they were finally allotted the house in Citizen Nagar. That is nearly 3 km away but because of the unmotorable road from Citizen Nagar, the travel takes long. Asked if Citizen Nagar was illegal, he said he would have to “check”. Over the last 14 years, Citizen Nagar has had several high-profile visitors, including then US Consul General Peter Haas.
