New Delhi, June 2 -- Residents of Madrasi Camp in south Delhi's Jungpura looked on in despair as bulldozers rolled into their locality, tearing down homes many had lived in for decades.
"Where will we live now?" - the sentiment was writ large on most faces as civic authorities carried out the demolition drive at the slum clusters near Barapullah bridge following a Delhi High Court order.
"I have been living here for the past 60 years now. My children were born here, everything happened here. We are sitting on the road. We do not know where to go," said Janki, an elderly woman, sitting on the side of the road.
Residents and activists have urged the government to ensure proper rehabilitation before proceeding with further evictions.
