MCD to Demolish 800 Illegal Structures in Bhalswa Dairy Colony

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is set to conduct a demolition drive in Bhalswa Dairy colony to remove 800 illegal structures. The MCD has issued notices to 100 dwellers and plans to relocate dairies housing hundreds of animals. Enforcement action follows a High Court order to tackle land misuse.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will initiate a demolition drive on August 12 to clear 800 illegal structures in Bhalswa Dairy colony, a senior official announced on Thursday.

The MCD has identified the illegal encroachments and plans to move more than 400 dairies to Ghogha dairy on Delhi's outskirts. Public notices were issued earlier this week, giving a three-day ultimatum to vacate the premises.

So far, only 100 notices have been served, and the MCD aims to serve the remaining before commencing the demolition. The drive follows a Delhi High Court directive to curb unauthorized constructions and land misuse.
