What did the hotel owner tell about the whole matter?
Mohd., owner of Hotel River Palace and Banaras Kothi. Farooq Khan told that the license of our hotel is also passed. The map of one of our hotels was passed in 1999 and the map of the other hotel in 2012. Green belt was determined in the year 2014, but the map of our construction was not passed saying that it is residential. We applied to make the map commercial and today they are coming to demolish our hotel.
Last night Varanasi Development Authority (VDA) informed that no new bookings will be made. Despite payment of electricity bill and house tax, electricity was disconnected. He told that we are the only Muslims in the hotel trade. That’s why this is happening with us and throughout the year we also organize Bhagwat Katha and Shiv Purana.
Khurshid Alam, son of the hotel owner who was injured in the head shot of ADM City, said that we are Muslims, that is why this is happening to us. There are 756 houses in the submerged area. No one has the courage to break it. We have taken action. Our petition has also been filed, but they did not give time. My family lives there and the G+2 map is nearby and is in the entire area. Everyone has this map, but my construction is being destroyed. Today ADM City hit me, because I only asked for time from ADM City to give time to my family to leave. Khurshid Alam alleged that officials from top to bottom in Varanasi Development Authority ask for money. If I don’t pay the money, my hotel is being demolished.
