A couple, who had troubled the local society with their anti-social activities and drugs peddling, was finally evicted from their rented kutcha-shelter which was also demolished by the land owner.
The story is from Syalgoan Arithang, a prominent locality in Gangtok, where a family was staying at the land of a local resident for past five years. About two years back, the family’s daughter and purported son-in-law set up a small kutcha house (dera) at the spot. Soon their alleged antics disrupted the Arithang society. Finally, the matter was reported to Gangtok Sadar Police Station with allegations that they were involved in drug peddling, anti-social activities and fighting with the Arithang residents.
The local society ‘Chandra Bhanu Welfare Association ‘ and Landowner Nikky Rai served them with an ultimatum to vacate their land and house within a week but it fell to deaf areas.
