The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) initiated a demolition drive on August 13, 2024, targeting illegal encroachments in the Bhalswa Dairy Colony in north-west Delhi. Three MCD bulldozers were deployed for the operation. This action led to significant protests from local residents, who blocked roads and expressed fear of eviction. The protests prompted a temporary pause in the demolition activities. Although the Delhi High Court had earlier halted the demolition, the MCD ordered it to proceed, leading to heightened tensions in the area.
