New Delhi:
A Supreme Court bench of Justices LN Rao and BR Gavai has started hearing petitions on demolitions in Delhi's Jahangirpuri neighbourhood, where violence broke out between two communities during Hanuman Jayanti on Saturday last. Several concrete and temporary structures close to a mosque were brought down on Wednesday morning as part of an anti-encroachment drive by the BJP-ruled North Delhi Municipal Corporation. The Supreme Court had to intervene twice to stop the drive after it took cognisance of a petition filed by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind against the demolition.
