Uttam Nagar Holi clash: MCD carries out anti-encroachment drive, several eateries sealed

NEW DELHI: (Mar 14) An anti-encroachment drive was carried out in Delhi's Uttam Nagar, with civic officials sealing several eateries in the area on Saturday, days after a 26-year-old man was killed during Holi celebrations on March 4, an official said.

Teams of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, assisted by the Delhi Police, launched the action amid tight security arrangements, deploying bulldozers to remove alleged illegal structures and seal shops operating in violation of civic norms.

The drive targeted a row of eatery outlets built outside the Uttam Nagar police station premises.
