The High Court here has ordered the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) Vice-Chairman to remove all encroachments and illegal construction on the Yamuna banks, riverbed and drains flowing into it.

In its order on July 8, the court also asked the DDA Vice-Chairman to file an action taken report within six weeks and listed the case for hearing on September 9.

The direction came in response to a petition filed by Shabnam Burney highlighting unauthorised constructions on the Yamuna bank around the Shaheen Bagh area.
