Residents in Jaipur begin relocating amid demolition fears
What happened
In Jaipur, residents and traders on New Sanganer Road began packing up their belongings on October 7, 2026, due to fears of demolition. This action followed the Supreme Court rejecting a stay petition and the high court not granting protection against Jaipur Development Authority notices. Manju Sharma, who runs a garment shop, stated that the notices indicated that nothing would remain in her building.
