Delhi: A Day After Shaheen Bagh, The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) on Tuesday has carried out an anti-encroachment drive on Gurudwara Road in New Friends Colony.
The civic officials reached the spot with bulldozers and removed illegal temporary structures. New Friends Colony falls under the Central Zone of the SDMC.
SDMC’s Central Zone Chairman Rajpal Singh said the anti-encroachment drive has begun in areas around New Friends Colony.
Our enforcement teams along with adequate police force and equipment such as bulldozers and trucks have started removing illegally set up kiosks, temporary structures, shanties or shops from near Baudha Dharma Temple, Gurudwara Road, and nearby areas in New Friends Colony. Our drive against encroachment will continue, Singh told the media.
This comes a day after the civic body had to return without executing the action in Shaheen Bagh on Monday following protests by locals and political leaders.
SDMC’s drive in Shaheen Bagh had witnessed people protesting in large numbers against the action and a complaint was also registered against AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan for obstructing the drive.
