Overview
- The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has pasted demolition notices on about 250 to 300 homes in the Nangli Dairy slum, labeling residents as encroachers.
- Residents must submit valid ownership or identification documents within five days or face forced evictions and bulldozer demolitions.
- Atishi Marlena and other Aam Aadmi Party leaders have pledged to file petitions in Delhi High Court and organize protests to defend displaced families.
- The notices follow June demolitions in Madrasi Camp, Bhoomiheen Camp and Govindpuri, reinforcing opposition claims that the ‘Jahan Jhuggi, Wahan Makaan’ promise was broken.
- Earlier rehabilitation efforts relocated hundreds of families over 35 kilometers away to Narela, drawing criticism for disrupting livelihoods, education and access to city services.
