Each of the affected families, leaving aside 72 families, was provided with 10,000 sq mtrs of agricultural land and an area adventuring 400 sq mtrs for housing plot. The situation for the 72 affected families who were not provided with the benefit of agricultural and housing plots in the initial stage, however took a turn for the worse each passing year. Till date, they have remained without their rightful agricultural and housing plot on account of lackadaisical attitude of successive governments in getting the issue resolved. The report also mentions that around 50 families’ needs to be issued with Sanads for alternate plots of land, i.e. both housing and agricultural, as the plots earlier allocated to them are now submerged under water.
