Delhi Urban Development Minister Satyendar Jain today met residents of Kathputli Colony, a JJ Cluster, following complaints that they are allegedly being "forcefully" evicted from the area.
Kathputli Colony is around 40 years old slum in West Delhi.
After meeting with people, Jain said, "Delhi Development Authority (DDA) officers have assured him that no one is being forcefully evicted from there. There is also a high court order which states that nobody can be forcefully dislodged," Jain said.
