Kogilu demolition: NGOs left to manage food needs of displaced families

More than two months after their houses were demolished in Kogilu Layout and parts of Waseem Layout in Yelahanka, over 160 displaced families continue to survive on ration supplies arranged by NGOs and, more recently, a private housing group, as government’s promise of rehabilitation remains unfulfilled.

However, while NGOs stepped in to provide vegetables, rice, and pulses, they have now said that they are running out of funds and have begun online fundraising campaigns to continue support. Recently, Vakil, a private housing development corporation, has put up a tent and is currently distributing ration supplies. Before this, Sangama, an NGO, had been coordinating food distribution.
