Residents of the Campa Cola buildings are slowly moving out of the apartments dubbed illegal by the court and the civic body and moving in with friends and relatives. However, even on Saturday, a few residents said they neither had the money to rent a flat nor any relatives who could accommodate so many of them. These residents continue to stay in apartments where power and water lines have been disconnected.

Residents of the legal floors were seen helping them survive by providing them food and water and allowing them access to their flats.Others, who have moved out to rented accommodation nearby, are also visiting their fellow sufferers. Many residents who do not have funds to rent a flat, were seen using battery-operated lights to enter their houses after sunset.
