# No demolition of houses in Yamuna floodplain, says Delhi minister 2026-08-07T23:50:31+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Delhi minister Kapil Mishra assured the assembly on Friday that no existing houses in the Yamuna floodplain (O-zone) will be demolished. He accused the Aam Aadmi Party of politicising the issue. His statement came after AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha alleged that homes in colonies like Burari, Jagatpur, and Wazirabad were being demolished despite their inclusion in the PM-UDAY regularisation scheme. Minister Mishra claimed that over 30 lakh houses in the O-zone are safe from demolition. He alleged that AAP workers were filing false complaints with the MCD and DDA to create political leverage. Mishra added that the previous government failed to protect these houses for a decade, leaving residents in legal uncertainty. The chief minister and lieutenant governor have already discussed the matter, he said. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: AAP, Delhi assembly, demolition, Kapil Mishra, PM-UDAY, Yamuna floodplain Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/no-demolition-of-houses-in-yamuna-floodplain-says-delhi-minister/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
