The Delhi government has issued eviction notices to residents living near the Yamuna floodplain in Old Delhi. The government has taken the step under the Disaster Management Act 2005, citing flood risk and public safety concerns.
According to a notice from the Additional DM of Old Delhi, around 310 houses near Yamuna Bazaar have been marked as illegal encroachments on flood zone land owned by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA).
Officials said that when the water level in the Yamuna river rises, the area becomes vulnerable to floods that occur every year, posing a serious threat to human life, cattle and property.
The administration has directed residents to vacate the area within 15 days from the date of the notice. People have also been asked to remove their belongings and construction from the flood area of their own free will.
