“We manage to earn a day’s living by collecting the waste material,”: A practical reader guide

Kingdom of Dreams (KoD), once an entertainment and cultural hotspot in Sector 29, is being stripped of metal fixtures despite the complex having been sealed by Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), with an HT visit finding 15 to 20 people removing steel bars, girders and pipelines from the premises.

A woman collecting iron pieces at the site told the HT team that they gathered waste material and sold it to a Kabariwalah (waste collector). “We manage to earn a day’s living by collecting the waste material,” she said, while the men removing the iron and steel material left the site.

He also asked police to ensure that the HSVP-sealed premises remained secure and undisturbed. “We have decided to get an FIR registered in this matter. On September 15, Sanjay Chowdhary, suspended director of KoD, filed a complaint seeking action against persons unlawfully entering the premises or attempting to remove property.

Rakesh Saini, estate officer two, HSVP, said the matter was serious and action was being initiated. It will be ensured that no unauthorised person gets entry into the premises,” he said.

The security concerns had also been raised with police earlier.
