Stand with Residents of Lal Bagh Slum in Shahdara (Delhi)!

The Anti-Worker Bulldozer Rampage Run by BJP Governments Must Be Stopped Now!

From vote bandi through SIR to displacement through demolition, the attack continues on migrant workers from Bihar!

Continuing the devastating anti-poor bulldozer rampage by the triple-engine BJP Government in Delhi, the residents of the Lal Bagh jhuggi have been served an evacuation notice by the Railways to vacate by 31st July.

The jhuggi basti houses thousands of residents who have lived in the area since 1990. At least three generations of the working class have lived in Lal Bagh. But now, they have suddenly received a notice from the Railways asking them to evacuate.
The Railway’s threat of coercive action is completely illegal. The existing norms for the rehabilitation of slums in Delhi mandate in-situ rehabilitation before any demolition of buildings in designated slum and jhuggi-jhopri clusters is undertaken.

The evacuation notice for the Lal Bagh slum must be seen in the context of the series of slum demolitions that have taken place in Delhi since the BJP assumed power in February 2025. From Wazirpur, Madrasi Camp, Bhumiheen Camp, and Indira Camp to Okhla Vihar, Jai Hind Camp, and now Lal Bagh—the hateful bulldozer continues to render the poor and working class of Delhi homeless.

AICCTU stands in unflinching solidarity with the residents of Lal Bagh camp in their fight for justice. All legal and agitational means of resistance are being explored to stop the impending demolition.

We urge the residents of Delhi to stand with fellow workers in Lal Bagh.
