A surprise late-night anti-encroachment drive by NDMC at Delhi’s iconic Sarojini Nagar market on May 17, 2025, saw bulldozers dismantle extensions and signage from nearly 150 shops, sparking outrage among traders. While the civic body says the crackdown is part of a renewed campaign to reclaim public spaces, the operation has reignited debate over Sarojini Nagar’s decades-old struggle with illegal hawking, overcrowding, and unresolved demands for proper vending zones.
