With around 64,000 illegal encroachments identified in the capital city Delhi, civic bodies have been on a demolition drive to clear the illegal occupation of public land. One such recent demolition drive undertaken at Mehrauli by DDA has rendered hundreds of families homeless . We visited the area and spoke to the affected residents to get a first-hand account of what has happened on ground. How did the situation come to this? Manisha Natrajan speaks with Somnath Bharti - MLA, Delhi Legislative Assembly, Malviya Nagar, Dr. Sudhir Krishna - Former Secretary, Ministry of Urban Development and Varun K Chopra - Advocate, Supreme Court, to ask who is responsible for such rampant illegal construction across India's top cities.
