The Gujjar and Bakerwal families are demanding justice and a shelter to live in, saying their houses stood there for the last 70 years but the authorities demolished their homes.
The families and their lawyer said that the houses were demolished despite a status quo order by a sessions court in Jammu. “They have been deprived only because they are poor people and no one listens to them. If there was rule of law, the authorities would have served them notice before demolition.
