TENSION IN OLD CITY OVER DEMOLITION DRIVE

VIOLENCE erupted early Wednesday during a demolition drive that began overnight near the century-old Syed Faiz Elahi mosque at Ramlila Maidan in central Delhi, leaving five police personnel injured after a mob pelted stones at security forces. Police used force and tear gas to control the situation and maintain law and order.

Officials said the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was carrying out demolition on land adjoining the mosque and a nearby graveyard at Turkman Gate, following directions of the Delhi High Court. An FIR has been registered at Chandni Mahal police station. Five people have been arrested, and 10 to 15 others detained.
