Over 150 residents stormed into the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) office in INA on Thursday, demanding action on the long-delayed vacating and reconstruction of Signature View Apartments, which have been deemed "unsafe."

Security personnel attempted to block their entry, leading to a brief skirmish in which a glass divider was shattered.

The apartment complex, declared unfit for habitation by an IIT Delhi report in 2022, was ordered in January 2023 by the lieutenant governor to be vacated and rebuilt. However, residents claim that despite months of waiting, no concrete action has been taken.
