Shaheen Bagh came into discussions in 2019
It is worth noting that Shaheen Bagh comes under the jurisdiction of SDMC and in December 2019, there was a prolonged sit-in protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in this area. This sit-in demonstration ended in March 2020 after the outbreak of the Covid epidemic. The North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) launched an anti-encroachment drive four days after the communal violence in the Jahangirpuri area, which was widely criticized.
