The Delhi High Court on Thursday directed the municipal corporation to remove encroachments by religious structures on the roads of Chandni Chowk by the end of May and asked the government and the police to extend all cooperation to the civic agency.
A Bench of Justices S Ravindra Bhat and S Muralidhar gave the direction after it was told that a religious committee, set up by the government to deal with issue of encroachments of the roads by the structures, was yet to take a decision.
The court said the ownership of the land was with the MCD and since the authorities do not dispute there was encroachments, the civic body should remove those.
