1. According to the locals, some other complexes are being constructed near this complex and only Muslims have reserved flats here. Since they are dominant in this area, they are trying to oust the people of other religions.

2. Some flat owners are trying to sell flats with the help of local BJP leaders. The leader told the owner that now you are getting the value of the flat, that itself is a big thing. Neighbouring buildings are under construction, it would be a problem for you once the Muslims move in there.

3. Some organisations have requested the administration to maintain religious harmony in this area.
