In a shocking incident, Tata Steel on Tuesday evicted three families of police staff from their company quarters in Sidhgora, Jamshedpur. The families were living in the quarters for several years, and two of the quarters even housed T.O.Ps (Traffic Outposts).
A few months ago, Tata Steel had cut off the electricity and water connections to the quarters, claiming that they wanted to take possession of them. The families, however, continued to live there despite the lack of basic amenities.
On Tuesday afternoon, Tata Steel personnel forcibly entered the quarters and evicted the families, throwing their belongings out onto the street and the field. A notice was also pasted on the quarters, stating that they belonged to the company and that any interference would result in legal action.
The evicted families are now homeless and have been forced to live in the open. They have accused Tata Steel of carrying out the eviction without any prior notice and causing them considerable damage.
The incident has sparked outrage among the local community, who have condemned Tata Steel’s actions. They have demanded that the company provide alternative accommodation to the evicted families and compensate them for the damage caused.
