In a statement issued here, Ashok Kumar said that the affected people of the Kunfer (Ramban) have become homeless and also lost their agricultural land due to the sinking of major portion of land at Kunfer village due to unplanned cutting of slopes in the process of widening of NH-44 Four-lane Project. The affected families are temporary accommodated without any roof. Provide immediate tents on war footing. It is a great injustice to the affected families who are below poverty line and have no scope for their daily livelihood, the Ex-MLA regretted.
