Delhi's anti-encroachment drive in Uttam Nagar seals eateries amid security concerns following recent violent incidents in the area.
An anti-encroachment drive was carried out in Delhi's Uttam Nagar, with civic officials sealing several eateries in the area on Saturday (March 14, 2026), an official said.
Teams of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, assisted by the Delhi Police, launched the action amid tight security arrangements, deploying bulldozers to remove alleged illegal structures and seal shops operating in violation of civic norms.
The drive targeted a row of eatery outlets built outside the Uttam Nagar police station premises.
The action comes days after a 26-year-old man named Tarun was killed in a clash that broke out between his family and neighbours in the JJ Colony.
According to police, the violence started after water from a balloon thrown by a girl from Tarun's family splashed on a woman from the neighbour's family during Holi celebrations.
The incident had triggered tensions and demands for strict action against illegal establishments.
