At Jahangirpuri
The bulldozer, once a lifeless object, has metamorphosed itself into a living giant, thanks to the key party in power. The current state of the dwellers of Delhi’s Jahangirpuri is testimony to the panic it causes. Under the pretext of carrying out an eviction drive, the bolstered bulldozer now flattens livelihoods. There is hope that the Supreme Court’s intervention will make the authorities not carry out inhumane and politically motivated acts. The Court’s observation, “Do you need bulldozers to clear stalls, chairs, tables and boxes?” should sting those responsible for such drives.
