A massive crowd gathered at Bhalswa Dairy in Delhi after the MCD bulldozers arrived to demolish the illegal constructions. Protesters chanted slogans against the municipal officials. In response to the crowd, a heavy police force has been deployed in the area.
Following the Delhi High Court’s order to demolish illegal constructions, the MCD bulldozers were surrounded by a gathering crowd at the location. They protested and raised slogans against the action. One individual on site, opposing the MCD's actions, questioned why the authorities didn't intervene during the construction of these homes. He alleged that officials collected large sums ranging from one lakh to two lakhs per column. He demanded that the homes of those corrupt officials who took bribes from them should be demolished first. He further added that they have been living here since the area was a jungle.

'80% Pay House Tax'
Another resident stated that 80% of the people here pay house tax, yet they are being harassed. He emphatically declared that they would die but not leave the place. The MCD had issued a public notice giving residents an ultimatum of three days to vacate the area. The notice warned that non-compliance would result in forced removal, and the cost of the action would be borne by the plot owners.

No Survey Conducted Here
