Delhi News | 15 Days To Leave: 310 Families In Delhi's Nigam Bodh Ghat Get Eviction Notice

Over 300 families living along the Yamuna near Delhi's Nigam Bodh Ghat have been asked to vacate within 15 days after authorities issued eviction notices citing flood risk and illegal occupation of the river's floodplain. The notices were issued to residents of the Yamuna Bazar colony in Old Delhi, where around 310 families live in a densely packed cluster close to the riverbank. According to the order issued by Delhi Disaster Management Authority, the settlement falls within the Yamuna floodplain area classified as the O-Zone, a category marked as environmentally sensitive and vulnerable to flooding. The area is among the first to be submerged whenever the Yamuna rises above danger levels during the monsoon.
