Some TV channels showed Hassan and his family sitting and having dinner amid the rubble of what used to be their home. Hassan's house was razed in a demolition drive carried out by the DDA in northeast Delhi's Khajoori Khas area. "Around midnight, some DDA officers came and offered to shift me and my family to a guest house in Vasant Kunj," Hassan told PTI. Today, without any (prior) information, DDA (officials) came and demolished it," he had said. The DDA had said the demolition drive was carried out on land that was "part of planned development land".
