Jahangirpuri Riots : Hearing in the Supreme Court in Jahangirpuri case today

An important hearing will be held in the Supreme Court today regarding MCD's campaign against encroachment in Delhi's Jahangirpuri area. There will be a hearing in the Supreme Court regarding whether the Delhi Municipal Corporation's bulldozer will work on encroachment today. On Wednesday, the bulldozer went on for a few hours on the encroachment in Jahangirpuri. However, the anti-encroachment drive was put on hold following the order of the Supreme Court.

Earlier, the Supreme Court had ordered to maintain status in the area. Despite the order of the court, the action of MCD did not stop. The MCD's bulldozer continued even after the Supreme Court ordered to maintain status quo in the matter. The order of the Supreme Court again reached the concerned authorities, after which the action was stopped.

In the petition, action has been mentioned on properties in states other than Delhi. The counsel for the petitioners, Dushyant Dave, has termed the move of MCD as unconstitutional and illegal. The petitioners say that at least 10 days' notice should be given for action. Apart from Congress, SP, Aam Aadmi Party and Left, many parties have taken a dig at BJP. Congress said that the government is promoting religious frenzy. CPM leader Brinda Karat reached Jahangirpuri on Wednesday afternoon. CPM leaders stood in front of the bulldozer to stop the action of MCD.
