Today, on 29th January, the Delhi High Court termed the illegal slaughter of chickens and birds at Ghazipur Murga Mandi “horrifying” after examining photographs. A Division Bench questioned whether its September 24, 2018 order banning such slaughter was being openly ignored by authorities.
The Delhi High Court has temporarily halted the eviction of 115 families in Okhla by the Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department, which issued eviction notices despite lacking legal ownership of the land. The next hearing is scheduled for August 4, allowing residents to challenge the notices deemed arbitrary and illegal.
