Vyapar mandal threatens statewide stir
Dehradun, October 17 He said the state government was showing little commitment towards implementation of its government order of 2011, which laid down terms and conditions of widening of Chakrata road. We gave all cooperation to the state administration and allowed dismantling of our generation old shops to widen up the Chakrata road. But, now the administration is again trying to acquire the left out portion of these shops in the name of redevelopment plan, which is totally unjustified, he pointed out. Goyal said the state government in collusion with builders now wants to completely evict Chakrata road businessmen. He questioned sudden start of acquisition process of their shops on part of the state authorities. Responding to queries, Anil Goyal did not rule out going to Supreme Court for justice. He also asserted that businessmen across the state were all united and stands with them. He said even Union Minister of Water Resources and Congress Haridwar MP Harish Rawat has expressed concern over harassment of Chakrata road traders. He said similarly other political parties in the state have also pledged their support . Protest against re-development plan
Opposing the redevelopment plan, Chakrata shopkeepers in Dehradun under the ageis of the Chakrata Road Residents Welfare Society today staged a chakka jam at Clock Tower and begged for alms as part of the protest programme. The protesters closed their shops from 10 am to 12 noon. The Chakrata road shopkeepers gathered at Clock Tower and staged a chakka jam during the morning hours, bringing the traffic to a standstill. They also resorted to large-scale sloganeering against the state government. The traders alleged that the state government was trying to forcibly acquire Chakrata road shops and give it to builders in the name of Chakrata road redevelopment plan. The protesters alleged that it is being wrongly portrayed before the Naintial High Court that most of the shops in Chakrata road were in a dilapidated state and thus needed to
be demolished.

‘Traders spreading rumours to sabotage Chakrata plan’
Dehradun, October 17 This is not true. New shops of the same measurement will be given to the freehold shopkeepers as per the size of their old shops. The tenants will be given ownership rights. The flats of equal measurement will be given in exchange to houses which will be acquired in the process. While allaying the projections made by the opponents, he said sufficient space for parking as well as walkways would be provided.
''We are not building parking space in the basement but on third and fourth floors, just to save time as the new building has to be constructed within a span of nine months. There will be sufficient space to commute on the road as the side alleys will be provided.'' While reacting on the matter of Nazul Land holders opposing the proposal, he said:'' They did not come to me with their grievances. Had they done so, they would have been given compensation for the construction of structures over government land. Now since the land belongs to state government, hence they will not be given shops.'' On the matter of acquisition, he said as per the High Court order, they had to comply to sections 4, 6 and 17 of Land Acquisition Act by October 24. ''We have already completed formality under section 4 whereby we have identified the shops to be acquired. Under section 6, the District Magistrate has been entrusted with the responsibility to acquire shops. It is he who now has to comply with section 17 , the procedure of acquisition of land. My job of sending proposal to the state government has been completed.''
