OF THE 235 TENANTS IN THE LEASE-EXPIRED AND RESUMED BUILDINGS, SC FAR SOME 180 HAVE ACCEPTED THE OFFER OF EX-GRATIA COMPENSATION AND ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION IN PUBLIC HOUSING ESTATES.
THE SPOKESMAN EXPRESSED THE HOPE THAT AGREEMENT WOULD BE REACHED WITH THE OTHER TENANTS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AS THE CLEARANCE DATE IS DRAWING NEAR.
HE POINTED OUT THAT ANY OWNER OR OCCUPANT OF THE RESUMED BUILDINGS MIGHT APPEAL TO THE LANDS TRIBUNAL FOR ARBITRATION IF THEY WERE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION OFFERED TO THEM.
+HOWEVER, THEY MUST VACATE THE BUILDINGS AT THE GIVEN DATE AS DEMOLITION WORK IS CLOSELY TIED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE WHICH HAS TO BEGIN IN TIME,+ HE CONCLUDED.
