The matter pertains to 50 families being rendered shetlerless after the JIT demolished their houses last Friday.
After interacting with the residents of Latifpura, Sampla will hold a meeting with the senior officials of the Jalandhar administration at the Circuit House here.
The NCSC had received a complaint from Shri Guru Ravidas Sangharsh Committee, which took up the matter of demolition of houses belonging to people from the SC community. As per the complaint, the demolition drive was allegedly carried out by the Punjab government without serving any prior notice.
