The Delhi High Court has ruled in favor of the eviction of slum dwellers from unauthorized camps near the Prime Minister's residence on Race Course Road, granting civic authorities the go-ahead to proceed. Justice Purushaindra Kaurav stated that the residents, classified as 'unauthorized occupants,' must vacate the area within two weeks. The court emphasized the need for the government to ensure that the rehabilitation process at Savda Ghevra, located approximately 45 km away, is conducted with minimal disruption. The Centre justified the eviction by citing national security concerns, as the camps are situated near military installations. More than 700 residents are set to be relocated, with 192 already accepting allotment letters for new housing. However, residents have contested the adequacy of the new site, arguing it violates policy guidelines favoring in-situ rehabilitation within a five-kilometer radius and expressing concerns over poor infrastructure.
