    "content": "Various notices were published in the local newspapers and posted in strategic places in the affected areas. The reasons for these evictions were also very clearly explained in those notices. Because of the emotions attached to this Question, allow me to elaborate that, indeed, notices were issued on 7th October, 2008, 25th September, 2010 and on 15th September, 2011. These notices clearly indicated that people needed to move and if they did not move, upon expiry of the notices, the constructions, erections, building materials, animals and other installations were going to be removed at their own risk and without any further warning. The KAA gave the residents warnings for over three years. (b) The residents of the said villages have all along known that they were settling on private land owned by the KAA. Secondly, the residents had never been settled there by any known authority and, therefore, the Government, in the face of threats to national security, had to act without delay. (c) The Government has no plan to offer alternative sites to the evictees because they had illegally occupied land belonging to the KAA. The Government cannot compensate people who grab or occupy private land as this would encourage the trend to continue. However, security was provided during the eviction to ensure that criminal elements did not take advantage of the situation to steal or vandalize private property, which was removed by the owners."
