On 21 February 2025, the APAL State Committee in Jharkhand submitted a formal application to the Deputy Commissioner (DC) and Sub-Divisional Officer (SDM) concerning eviction notices issued to residents of both the Domgarh and BMP Leprosy Colonies. Additionally, a visit to the Dhanbad Municipal Corporation was conducted to assess applications under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.

The Food Corporation of India (FCI) issued an eviction notice to the Domgarh Leprosy Colony, which necessitated an appeal for intervention. Similarly, the Railway Department notified the BMP Leprosy Colony, prompting discussions with administrative officials regarding potential rehabilitation solutions. A meeting was convened with the Additional District Magistrate (ADM), during which representatives urged the authorities to acknowledge the residents’ rights and to refrain from executing forced evictions in the absence of alternative housing options.

Officials at the Dhanbad Municipal Corporation reviewed the status of housing applications, discussing the requisite measures to secure benefits for the affected families. The efforts were led by APAL representatives, including Vice President Jawahar Ram Paswan and Jharkhand Leader Madhusudan Tiwari.

Authorities have been urged to undertake appropriate actions, and follow-up meetings are planned to ensure rehabilitation support and long-term housing security for displaced residents.
