The Delhi Union Territory administration razed illegal structures in the Ram Darbar locality, naming 13 persons tied to criminal investigations.
The Delhi Union Territory government carried out a demolition drive in the Ram Darbar area, tearing down a number of structures that were built without proper authorization. Officials said the buildings violated land‑use regulations and posed safety hazards.
During the operation, authorities identified thirteen individuals associated with the illegal constructions who are also under investigation for various criminal offenses. The names of the persons have not been disclosed, but police have linked them to cases ranging from fraud to illegal land‑grabbing.
The demolition was overseen by the UT's municipal department in coordination with the police, who ensured that the process was conducted without incident. The move reflects a broader crackdown on unauthorised development across the capital.
Local residents were informed in advance and were asked to vacate the premises. The administration has urged the public to report any further illegal constructions to prevent similar violations.
The action underscores the government's commitment to enforce zoning laws and curb criminal activities linked to unauthorised real‑estate projects.
