Destruction in the Name of Development
04, Nov 2017 | CJP Team
On October 28, 2017 in a spectacular, display of force and violence, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) started a brutal and questionably legal, demolition drive destroying buildings standing for 40 years now. Activists and students defending them were brutally hurt. We spoke to Annie Raja, leading political activist and general secretary of the NFIW (National Federation of Indian Women) on the events around the demolition,especially as she was a target of the police’s brutality the day before yesterday.
