Eviction threat

Elodie and Txuma, whose bathroom is on the proposed Crown Road, received a letter signed by Dr G. Seetharaman, AVFO’s ‘Officer on Special Duty’, informing them that they are illegal occupants of ‘public premises’, and threatening them with eviction if they do not move.

The letter says that alternative accommodation in Maitreye II was offered to them, but Maitreye II is a Government of India-funded apartment block intended solely for Newcomers, not for long-term Aurovilians.
