A day after BJP-ruled NDMC razed several "illegal" structures in violence-hit Jahangirpuri, the party's Delhi unit chief Adesh Gupta said he would write to east and south Delhi mayors also to conduct similar drives in their areas to bulldoze "illegal encroachments by Rohingyas and Bangladeshis".
The demolition drive by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) was launched in Jahangirpuri Wednesday following Mr. Gupta's letter that came after violence erupted in the area during a Hanuman Jayanti procession.
The drive, however, was halted after one-and-a-half hour following a Supreme Court order to maintain status quo.
