Delhi Government authorities on Tuesday carried out a major anti-encroachment drive in Harkesh Nagar, which is part of the Tughlakabad Assembly constituency, an official said.
Acting against the illegal constructions, bulldozers were deployed to demolish hundreds of unauthorised shops and roadside shanties.
Several residents and shop owners expressed anguish over the action.
