In the heart of Delhi, on July 5th, a sudden demolition drive tore apart communities in Behlolpur Khadar near Sarai Kale Khan. These structures were not just simple shanties; they were homes to people who have been the backbone of this city for over three decades. Many residents allege that their jhuggis were razed without adequate notice.

Abdul Razzak, a resident, recounted the shocking event, "When we woke up in the morning, at about 6:30 A.M., the police and the JCB came here. We were told that from all four sides our jhuggis would be demolished. Before this, yesterday, we did not receive any written notice. We didn’t even know that our jhuggis would be demolished. We were ready to go to work in the morning, but then we saw that the police had come and had started demolishing our jhuggis. They broke all our things. We managed to remove some of our household articles, but some got lost in the demolition. A young boy also got injured because of the JCB."
