14 Teams, 9 Bulldozers, 1,500 Cops: How Delhi Demolition Was Carried Out
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 demolition started at 9:30 am and continued till around 12 pm. Several shops, construction in front of buildings, handcarts and even the outer gate of the mosque that was at the centre of last week's violence were demolished by North Delhi Municipal Corporation's excavators.
