Letters to the Editor: Illegal occupation of railway quarters

Illegal occupation of railway quarters

I am writing to bring to your attention a serious issue regarding the illegal occupation of the railway quarters in Gandhi Colony. This matter has persisted for several years, and it is disheartening to witness the unlawful activities taking place in the area, with the individuals’ responsible enjoying free utilities such as electricity and water.

I have repeatedly reported this matter to the concerned railway department personnel, providing detailed information about the inside story of Gandhi Colony. However, despite my efforts, it appears that no substantial action has been taken to address this issue. This lack of response has raised concerns about the integrity and responsibility of the railway department in dealing with such matters.

It has come to my attention that the occupants of the illegally occupied quarter have been making monthly payments to the railway personnel in charge of this quarter, thus perpetuating their unauthorized stay and enjoying the benefits of free utilities. This blatant misuse of authority not only undermines the credibility of the railway department but also encourages illegal activities to persist in the area.

I kindly request the railway authority to take immediate action to evacuate the occupants from the illegally occupied quarter in Gandhi Colony. It is imperative that the necessary processes be carried out promptly to rectify this situation. The occupants must be legally removed, ensuring that they no longer benefit from the free supply of electricity, water, and space to carry out their illicit activities. I trust that the railway authority will prioritize this matter and initiate the required steps to resolve it swiftly. By doing so, you will not only uphold the law but also restore the faith of the public in the railway department’s commitment to maintaining the rule of law. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. I anticipate a positive and timely response from your end regarding the actions taken to address this issue.

Bishnu Dey,

Lumding.
