Holding detailed discussions in the meeting that lasted for two and half hours here, the Deputy Commissioner Jaspreet Singh urged the members to patiently think over the issue in larger interests of both sides as the District Administration has already made it clear that these families would be rehabilitated.

The Jalandhar Improvement Trust Chairman Jagtar Singh Sanghera said that the Trust was ready to rehabilitate the families at alternate site. He appealed the members of Morcha to get the list of families provided as early as possible with the Administration to ensure early rehabilitation. He also reiterated that it was brought to the notice of the morcha in previous meetings to submit the list of families along with details. On the basis of list provided by them, the Trust can finalise and ensure rehabilitation at alternate site, said Sanghera adding that they should submit the list to District Administration.
