Authorities Find Solutions for People’s Housing

Pointing out to tenure and illegal allotments around the city of Zahedan, Shaikh Abdol-Hamid said asked the pertinent authorities to find solutions for the housing of people.
Calling on people to take care of regulations, the eminent Sunni leader said in a part of his sermon on Friday, Dec. 30, 2016: “I’d like to recommend all citizens to act upon the law in any condition. Neither we should violate the law of the Almighty nor the ruling laws in the country. Otherwise there would be anxieties for all.”
“The other recommendation is that people should not occupy the lands around the city. If anyone needs real estate and adobe, he should pursue the case via legal channels,” Khateeb of Sunnis in Zahedan underlined.
He addressed the national and provincial authorities and said: “The officials and implementers of law should have sympathy for common people; the legal ways must not be closed for them. As the Supreme Leader urges as well as the president, the authorities are servants of people.”
“I’d like to call on the officials to be soft with people as the Qur’an orders the prophet, peace be upon him, ‘spread the wings of thy tenderness over the believers’. The authorities also should lower their wings for the citizens and attend the demands of people,” the rector of Darululoom Zahedan said.
He termed ‘closure of legal channels’ one of the reasons behind violations of law’ and said: “It has been experienced the reason behind most of the violations of law is closure of the legal ways before people. We should not restrict the legal channels for them.”
“Serving people is the duty of all departments and officials. The responsibility of municipality and the Housing Foundation is ‘heavy’ in this regard. They should find any solution for people. The lands should be for the common citizens,” Shaikh Abdol-Hamid urged.
Criticizing ‘widespread allotment for some state departments’, the prominent Islamic scholar said: “It is regrettable to hear some state departments and offices allot dozens of acres for themselves without any mere need; while these lands are national assets and more than others, common people should take their advantages.”
Shaikh Abdol-Hamid concluded his points by saying: “People of Zahedan follow their traditional customs. They cannot live in small apartments with lots of children. They marry their children and share their houses with them, too. Thus they should be given at least 150 square meters as they could build two-story houses.”
