The Morning Standard
|November 08, 2023
FOR 84-year-old Shanti Devi, a witness to the Partition horror, it is a moment to travel back in time. The Dehradun district administration has ordered the evacuation of 17 families, including Shanti Devi's, from Kabul House, where she has been living for 75 years.
Located in a posh area of the state capital Dehradun, the Kabul House has now been declared as an "enemy property" by the government.
The property is also known as Kapyong House and still remains the residence of the members of the royal family of Afghanistan. The Enemy Property Act, 1968 is an Act of the Parliament of India, which enables and regulates the appropriation of property in India owned by Pakistani nationals.
