Adesh Gupta writes to east, south Delhi mayors for anti-encroachment drives
India Today
BJP’s Delhi unit chief Adesh Gupta has written a letter to the mayors of east and south Delhi to conduct anti-encroachment drives in their areas.
A day after North MCD razed several “illegal” structures in violence-hit Jahangirpuri, the BJP’s Delhi unit chief Adesh Gupta wrote to the mayors of south and east Delhi to conduct anti-encroachment drives in their areas.
Adesh Gupta has asked the mayors of east and south Delhi to end the “encroachment of government land by Bangladeshi, Rohingyas and anti-social elements.”
“Under the patronage of the AAP MLAs and leaders, anti-social elements have made numerous illegal encroachments in your area,” he added.

In a letter written to SDMC Mayor Mukkesh Suryaan and EDMC Mayor Shyam Sunder Agarwal, Adesh Gupta has asked them to “identify” the encroachment by anti-social elements and “bulldoze them”.
On Wednesday, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation launched an anti-encroachment drive in Jahangirpuri following Gupta’s letter that came after violence erupted in the area during a Hanuman Jayanti procession.
However, the drive was halted after the Supreme Court ordered to maintain the status quo.
