New Delhi, 13th July. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has paused its planned demolition drive against encroachments on the Yamuna flood plain near the south of Majnu Ka Tila gurdwara, sources revealed. The demolition was scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, but no immediate reason has been cited for the delay.
The DDA had announced the demolition drive in a public notice released on Thursday, specifying that it would take place on July 13 and 14. Residents of Majnu Ka Tila, including Pakistani Hindu refugees, reported receiving the notice from the land-owning agency late Thursday evening.
“In compliance with the order, it is proposed to organize a demolition drive against the encroachment in the river Yamuna flood plain area near south of Gurudwara Majnu Ka Tila (Western Bank) on Saturday and Sunday,” the DDA notice read. It also stated that affected families could seek temporary shelter at Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) facilities.
“Residents of the area are hereby requested to vacate by July 12; otherwise, they will be self-responsible for any loss due to the demolition drive against the encroachment on July 13 or later,” the notice further stated.
