There were around 8,000 families living in 1,385 homes and they have voluntarily allowed to demolish their homes. There are some players that have moved the court and have rendered the land reserved for the rehabilitation of the Signal Free Corridor-III project but whether we are in power or not, these affectees would be rehabilitated at all cost because losing home is an act that is unparallel to any other sacrifice. We shall not tolerate any impediment in this regard, vowed Kamal. Signal Free Corridor-III project has been completed up to 40 percent within 20 days and would be fully operational within 3 months.
