The riots in most localities of North East Delhi have been controlled, but it has left a trail of death and destruction, with many heartbreaking stories emerging from the affected areas. Uneasy calm has descended over the Jafarabad-Maujpur area, the epicentre of the riots, which is just 15 km away from the temple of democracy, the Parliament.

Since last Sunday, the anti and pro-Citizenship Amendment Act riots have claimed over 42 lives here. Though most of the shops continue to remain closed, life is crawling back to normal.
