Housing: Deportation process to start next weekend in Algiers

Well informed sources said that Algiers governor decided to start the deportation process, that is expected to be programmed next week end, after reconsidering the security committee reports, and end the identification of the final list, through deporting a significant number of families that are living in anarchical buildings and fragile houses in a number of Algiers municipalities, to decent houses in both districts of 2,200 houses in Sidi Mhamed in Bir Touta, and Ramadnia in Calitus.

Echorouk sources added that the decision was taken on last Monday in the meeting of directors of Algiers Wilaya, that was attended by the seconded governors and executive managers, giving strict instructions to Algiers officials to take all the necessary measures for the success of the process that coincides with the social entry.

According to leaked information, the first day of the process will include about 780 families that will be deported to the neighborhood of Sidi M’hamed in Bir Touta, and will include families which live in houses that are doomed to collapse and residents of chalets, and some anarchical neighborhoods that occupy lands for completing developmental programs, based on the strategy that was adopted by Algiers wilaya, which is freeing lands that are allocated for the embodiment of housing programs and public places.

Second day of the deportation will be on Friday night, and is expected to include 1,000 families that will be deported to Ramdania and Calitus neighborhoods, as the wilaya allocated large human and material resources, including 6000 agents and 4000 tracks, as well as thousands of security agents to secure the process because it coincides with the social entry, and education directorates deployed in east and west agents to register pupils in educational institutions directly after deporting the families, because the process coincides with the school entry that is expected to start on September, 7.
