New Delhi: Authorities on Sunday began demolishing 143 illegal structures in Delhi's Shalimar Bagh area after the Supreme Court upheld orders permitting the clearance of encroachments from land earmarked for the road widening, officials said.
The demolition drive was launched in Haiderpur village, where the structures were found within the designated 30-metre right of way of the proposed corridor -- Road No. 320 -- linking the Shalimar Bagh Railway Under Bridge with the Outer Ring Road.
