Dear All,
Today the Bulldozers of Shivalik Ventures continue to demolish the
houses of the Golibar slum are, yesterday 11 houses were broken and
nearly 12 people were arrested who will be produced infront of the
Magistrate today.
Medha Patkar and nearly 50 people from other bastis were on their way to
the Golibar area that they were detained and put in Kheruvadi police
Station. Frustrated with the constant violation of the laws and open
support to the Shivalik Ventures which has been riddled with corruption,
as mentioned in the letter written to CM Prithviraj Chauhan yesterday
Medha Patkar and others have started INDEFINITE HUNGER STRIKE in the
police custody itself.
Write to CM and fax it to them asking for immediate stopping of the
demolitions and release people who have been arrested yesterday and
detained today.

To,
Shri Prithviraj Chavan,
Hon’ble Chief Minister,
Government of Maharashtra,
Mantralaya, Mumbai
Dear Shri Prithviraj Chavanji,
I have been reading about the good decisions of yours to review the 3-K
schemes, rather scams and we welcome this courageous decision. While two
of these are cancelled, enquiry of Shivalik Ventures is apparently, on.
It is already an established fact that the builder, with the name
changed many times and so was the enterprise (SVI Realties, Shivalik
Ventures, Shi. Ventures Private Ltd., Lifestyle Realty) has committed
serious criminal offences in the process of seeking approval. The Slum
Rehabilitation Authority, to the Mantralaya, all have favoured the builder.
Its also seen and exposed from the letter of the Directorate of Income
Tax that UNITECH has made 50% of the investment, that too by collecting
advances through Neera Radia! It thus can be covered in the enquiry on
the 2 G spectrum scam.
Another level of fraudulent sanctions is of the co-operatives in the
Golibar region. Preparing fake documents of General Body meetings with
false signatures, cheating the private owners and co-operatives
member's, putting thousands of people in the transit camps, violating
the rules, but also constructed on the land belonging to the Defence
Ministry (Air Force) or the Railway Ministry etc......are also
thoroughly assessed and exposed by us as well as the concerned
authorities. FIRs filed are being investigated into, based on the High
Court orders in certain cases.
In this context, while the Project deserves cancellation and legal
action, its shocking that the Additional Collector, Mr. Rokhade is again
issuing notices for demolition and tomorrow morning again the massive
police force is to be deployed for the same. These colonies of families
settled 70-100 years ago, are not "encroacher's slums", but pucca houses
erected out of sweat and blood of toiling people.
The land grabbers, eyeing on this land, just 3 kms away from the
airport, are up with all political pressures and interests, to not just
evict, but destroy the lives of thousands of families. This must be
stopped and questioned. While we are to fight the battle tooth and nail,
as we did in January last, we expect you to issue immediate orders to
stop the demolition during the inquiry and further take appropriate
steps to cancel the Shivalik project at Golibar, to save life and
shelter of the thousands of families from the jaws of land sharks. This
battle, would otherwise catch fire with all the builders and all the
affected shall join the people of Golibar with women at the forefront.
With Regards,
Medha Patkar*Ph:*09423965153 / 09969363065 / 09179148973

Action
Alert
19 April 2011
The bulldozers at Golibar a 50 year old slum are once again out to
demolish and evict the slum dwellers who have been fighting the
corruption and land grab by Shivalik Ventures in which the 2G Spectrum
scam ridden Unitech has a stake. In the past the slum dwellers have
repeatedly opposed and exposed the illegal acts of the private
developers who are all out to grab the land. It was only after the
expose that the Chief Minister of Maharashtra scrapped the two 3K
projects. This has been welcomed by us but we also await the scrapping
of the Golibar Project. *Yesterday when the slum dwellers opposed the
eviction drive 12 slum dwellers including 6 women were arrested and
today will be produced before the Magistrate.*
Yesterday it was a familiar scene. A hundred policemen crowded the
narrow corridor that is the entry to our homes. The Collector’s men
raised their mobile loudspeakers and read out a ‘33/38’ eviction notice,
asking us to co-operate in their efforts to break their houses. It’s
besides the point that in no language, legal or otherwise, does
‘eviction’ mean ‘demolition’. It’s also besides the point that the
so-called notice was dated from more 90 days earlier, making it
redundant as a legal order. Nor does it matter, perhaps, that the High
Court has ruled in our favour in a (criminal) case of fraud and forgery
against Shivalik builders – the very builders that the police and
collector’s office came to serve today.
We all request you to kindly call the Chief Minister, Maharashtra-Office
and request them to stop the forcible eviction of slum dwellers.
In Solidarity,
Medha Patkar,Santosh Daonkar, SimpreetSingh, Prerna Gaikwad, Ajit
