The Delhi High Court has ordered the fencing of land near the Nau Gaza Peer Dargah and Kabristan on Yamuna floodplains to prevent encroachment and unauthorized construction. The court noted visible construction and uprooted trees, emphasizing that no habitation is permitted on floodplains, even for graveyards. While the caretaker claims the land is for a graveyard, a complainant alleges recent construction and over 100 families residing there. Authorities confirmed government ownership, a claim disputed by the caretaker.
