The Municipal Corporation of #Delhi (#MCD) on April 20 brought down several shops and carts claimed to be illegal in the #Jahangirpuri area, a few days after communal violence was reported from the location on April 16. Later on April 20, the Supreme Court issued a stay order on the encroachment drive, but several shops had been already bulldozed by then. Rokiya, 30, a mother of three children, says her only source of income was the kebab cart she owned. She witnessed her cart being crushed just 10 minutes before the #SupremeCourt orders were issued. She also held a license from the authorities to run her shop.
