Stop demolition drive at Mehrauli, Ladha Sarai immediately: Delhi L-G to DDA

Lieutenant Governor (L-G) Vinai Kumar Saxena has ordered the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to stop its demolition drive at Mehrauli and its adjacent Ladha Sarai village till further instructions.

According to L-G House officials, the decision was taken after a delegation of residents from these villages called upon Saxena at Raj Niwas seeking relief citing anomalies in the demarcation of land in these areas by the Delhi government in 2021.

Saxena, in his capacity as the DDA chairman, directed the body’s vice chairman and the local administration to “immediately” stop the demolition drive and assured the residents that their grievances would be looked into and the anomalies pointed out by them examined.
