Ahead of the summit, the Central government had undertaken a beautification project in the national capital – from the refurbishment of roads to construction of underpasses.
As part of the same project, residents of Coolie Camp – a slum area in upmarket Vasant Vihar – along with several other areas in New Delhi, found their areas they live in covered with the green sheets. On Monday evening, MCD officials, assisted by locals, began removing these green sheets.
Since the beginning of the year, a number of residential houses and roadside stalls had been allegedly razed to the ground as part of the beautification drives.
