The Road of Abandonment

As a result of a Supreme Court ruling all commercial buildings/establishments on this stretch of the road (mehrauli-gurgaon road) were deemed illegal. Most of these commercial structures had been made in blatant disregard of land-use laws and the delhi master-plan. All these buildings sit on what is supposed to be "agricultural land". There was obvious collusion of the builders with the MCD, police and other regulatory authorities when the buildings were actually constructed.

So taking into consideration that these lands are not to be used for any purpose except agriculture, the court ordered the "sealing" of all such premises.

Second "sealed" building on the way from andheria mor to sultanpur...


Not only were the buildings "sealed" they were put "out-of-use". demolition crews worked hard to make the building uninhabitable.... with the support of a few truck-loads of police.



A dead dog by a dead building. Both have reached a point of no return. The building can only be demolished further or degrade due to disregard, just as the dog can only decompose or become part of garbage/food for scavengers.....
Most of the structures were "sealed" with such force that they can not possibly be used safely.
