As a result, we were flog a dead horse by worrying. Till now, the government hasn't taken any action about the policy. But we will still move in three to four years for the acres belong to military. There used to be claybanks nearby, but they were destoryed when building houses. People used to use the Gate wall as part of the wall. As a result, the gate wall became part of the house.
