Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah urging him to stop the ''destruction'' ensuing in the national capital due to the anti-encroachment drive being carried out by the three BJP-ruled municipal bodies.

In an online briefing, Sisodia claimed that the civic bodies have a plan to raze 63 lakh dwellings in the national capital. "Of these, 60 lakh houses are in unauthorised colonies while the remaining three lakh are those where people have extended their balconies or covered them. We have learnt that notices have been sent to them," Sisodia said.
