Mayor On Why Bulldozers Kept Moving In Delhi's Jahangirpuri Even After Court Pause

Shortly after the Supreme Court ordered demolitions paused at Delhi's Jahangirpuri, bulldozers kept advancing, tearing down kiosks and shops and even structures outside a mosque. "The work will continue as the order has not reached us," said the BJP-controlled Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) firmly. Raja Iqbal Singh, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor, insisted that the demolition drive was not confined to the riot-accused in Jahangirpuri, where communal clashes broke out on Saturday during a Hanuman Jayanti procession.
