The association of 'unauthorized' with Jahangirpuri is misleading. in the context of Delhi. Jahangirpuri is in fact a resettlement colony - a space granted by the state to resettle its residents. The structural illegality here is what you'll find in all of planned Delhi (1/n)
Most of Delhi's built structure is in contravention of planning guidelines. Be it extension in DDA housing, or the taking over of footpaths for use of parking, or gating homes. This city is built through encroachment. (2/n) #JahagirpuriViolence
In #jahagirpuri, most residents and shop-owners will have documentation to support ownership. What is happening here is not the demolition of illegal structures, but state-sponsored violence, with clear ramifications for one community. (3/n)
