Today, a two judge-bench of the Supreme Court will hear the plea regarding the Jahangirpuri demolition. Along with this, the Supreme Court will also hear the petition of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind against the ongoing bulldozer action in various states.
Background
Jahangirpuri suffered on Hanuman Jayanti when there was chaos due to stone-pelting, sloganeering and more. Post it, several probe teams were formed to investigate the issue properly. On Wednesday, North MCD took action against illegal constructions here. The North Delhi Municipal Corporation removed temporary encroachments from the area in the presence of heavy police force. During the removal of temporary encroachments, MCD officials removed temporary kiosks and thatches on the pavement with the help of 7 bulldozers. During the drive, 8 trucks and 4 Mini Tata trucks were deployed by the corporation. Along with this, 70-80 employees and officers of the corporation and adequate police force were present too.
