Defence Colony residents collecting ₹40L for penalty
The Morning Standard
|March 28, 2025
THE Defence Colony Resident Welfare Association (RWA) is raising funds from local households to pay a ₹40 lakh penalty imposed by the Supreme Court for illegally occupying a Lodhi-era monument, the Gumti of Shaikh Ali, for over six decades.
The apex court had directed the RWA to compensate the Delhi government's archaeology department, which is responsible for restoring the structure.
RWA president Ranjit Singh confirmed the fundraising effort, stating that each household is contributing ₹1,000 to gather the required amount.
Defence Colony has over 800 families and some members have chosen to contribute larger sums. Singh himself has pledged a significant amount toward the penalty.
