Delhi Anti Encroachment Drive Jahangirpuri

North Delhi's civic body today demolished several structures in what they called a routine "anti-encroachment drive" in the violence-hit Jahangirpuri. The Supreme Court, responding to an appeal, halted the demolition and ordered an urgent hearing.

The anti-encroachment exercise was ordered after Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta wrote to the mayor, asking him to identify illegal constructions by "rioters" and demolish them.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today attacked the government over the use of bulldozers in violence-hit areas of Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to switch off "bulldozers of hate" and switch on power plants.
