The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has been conducting demolition drives and bulldozing farmlands of farmers living on the Yamuna flood plains. Thousands of farmers who live on the banks of river Yamuna face eviction today, despite most of them having ownership proof of their land. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has still not put in place a rehabilitation package for the farmers who face displacement.
The farmers are being accused of polluting the Yamuna river. Are these claims valid? Can the farmers be evicted without a rehabilitation package when they have documentary evidence related to ownership proof of the land?
