Adhikar Manch raised the issues of housing compensation and for that matter the
members of Lok Adhikar Manch protested before Bhachau, Anjar and Rapar taluka
development offices for more than two months. · In another case where 162 families of village Satapar of Anjar taluka were being forced to go for adoption rather than the owner driven housing.

As a result of which both the packages of rehabilitation were allowed in the same village and these families received housing compensation. ·

scarcity for housing construction as result of which a coordination committee of
officials of water supply department and members of Lok Adhikar Manch was
constituted and services of water tanker were provided to the affected
villages. ·
The eleven Dalit families of Shivgarh, who had
to reside with their relatives for two years due to caste oppression, were able
to settle down in their own village with the support extended by Lok Adhikar
Manch. ·
