Bulldozers Roll In Anti-Encroachment Drive In Delhi's Jahangirpuri Days After Clashes
The North Delhi Municipal Corporation began an anti-encroachment drive in northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri area on Wednesday morning. The area witnessed clashes last week after stones were pelted at a Hanuman Jayanti procession and vehicles were burnt, leading to clashes between two communities. The civic body's drive on Wednesday was stayed by the Supreme Court.
