Tension arose in Delhi during a late-night demolition drive by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to remove illegal encroachments. The operation, supported by police, faced stone-pelting from a section of the crowd, leading to an FIR and investigation into potential pre-planning. MCD officials stated that approximately 36 square feet of encroachments were removed, including a diagnostic center and banquet hall, emphasizing that a nearby mosque was undamaged. The demolition was scheduled at night to minimize traffic and economic disruption.
