The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) conducted a demolition drive near Turkman Gate, targeting illegal structures as per a High Court order. The operation led to stone-pelting by some individuals, resulting in minor injuries to five police personnel and the detention of five people. Delhi Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh defended the drive, stating it followed a court order and aimed for a cleaner city, attributing the unrest to misinformation. Authorities reported the situation was controlled with minimal force.
