Eyes were set on the hearing of the Supreme Court on the demolition issue which was to be held on 20th March. The SC asked MCD to act fast on removing all shops and commercial establishments from the indentified locations. SC further rapped MCD for its double standards. MCD seems to different stands on the matter inside the court wher it says its against the encroachments and ouside the court .
MCD had no choice but to accept that it shall seal all the commercial establishments on the identified locations in the 11 MCD zones. Earlier MCD has said that it would shut down only those commerical establishments which are using more than 50% of the space for commercial purposes. But after yesterdays hearing it said it shall get cracking against all commercial outlets on 189 roads.
Further according to a Time of India report, a survey shows that 59% of the delhihites are supporting the demolition drive ordered by the court. Also according to the report, Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is the most currupt and inefficient department. According to me everyone else is happy because of the demolition drives by the MCD except for those who are directly impacted. Even many Resident Welfare Associations came forward in support of the drives conducted by the MCD.
This demolition drive is definitely going to make Delhi a better place to stay. I sincerely hope that the drive continues and the Hon’ble Supreme Court remains firm in its stand.

The act of MCD is a coverup. This will not make delhi a better place of living. IMO
A citizen of India has every right to use his property. Its violation of citizen rights, I feel.
its my personal view.
