Residents of three jhuggi-jhopri (JJ) clusters near the prime minister's residence in Delhi have been asked to vacate their premises after the Centre allotted them permanent houses under a rehabilitation plan.
The high court made the observation while granting liberty to the DDA to proceed with the demolition action at Bhoomiheen Camp in South Delhi's Kalkaji in accordance with law.
The doctors have also demanded enhanced security outside and within the hospitals where the Markaz evacuees have been admitted. A doctor said some patients evacuated from Nizamuddin Markaz, the headquarters of Tabligh-e-Jamaat in south Delhi, don't follow instructions from doctors and are reluctant to take medicines.
'Why do politicians ask for votes if they cannot rehabilitate us? Where do we go -- to the footpath?'
The national capital has so far recorded six cases of coronavirus.
