The Delhi Development Authority and Municipal Corporation of Delhi have repeatedly claimed action against illegal construction in Zone-O, including demolitions. Yet a ground visit to several parts, especially the Yamuna floodplain, revealed construction continuing despite the restrictions.
In Wazirabad, construction was underway at several locations. In Gali No. 9, a road had been occupied for construction, with machinery, workers and building material blocking public movement. Local activist Shehzad Khan questioned why construction continues even after notices are issued, and whether officials are failing to act against such violations.
