DDA demolishes Bhoomiheen camp in South Delhi
At the crack of dawn on Wednesday, residents of Bhoomiheen camp in south Delhi's Kalkaji watched as bulldozers tore through their houses, where multiple generations of their families had lived. Only a field of rubble and dust could be seen where a sea of houses stood a day ago. The settlement — which first came up in the 70s ( according to residents) — was demolished five days after the Delhi high court dismissed all petitions filed by some camp residents against the demolition barring one. The process to remove the residents from the DDA-owned land first began in June 2023 but was halted when those who had not been rehabilitated filed writ petitions in the high court. However, this time around, the deed is done. 'We do not know what we will do. We have nowhere to go now,' said 43-year-old Manoj Tiwari, as he stared at the bulldozers in action. Tiwari, who runs a snack shop in the area, said that his family has not yet been allotted a house in Kalkaji. While DDA said that 1,862 households in the area were rehoused in Pocket A-14, Kalkaji extension in 2023, residents placed the total number of households at over 3,000. A DDA official told HT, 'Under in situ slum rehabilitation project at Kalkaji, after applying the eligibility criterion as per DUSIB's rehabilitation/relocation policy 2015, approved by the then government of Delhi, some residents were found to be eligible for rehabilitaion, and some were not.' According to policy, households included in voter lists from years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 (prior to January 1), and possess any of the valid documents such as passport, electricity bill, driving licence, among others, are eligible for alternative accommodation. A person's name should also appear in the voter list of the year of survey (2019), said the official. On June 6, the HC directed DDA to provide alternative housing to one of the petitioners, which the body said it has already done, and to re-examine 26 of the cases and pass speaking orders within six weeks. 'None of the petitioners has any legal right to continue occupying the JJ cluster incessantly, to the detriment of the public at large,' the court had said. Prakash Goswami, 44, a small goods vehicle driver who claimed that he was in Bhoomiheen camp, alleged that he was denied housing despite having all the documents. 'The officials said that since I did not vote in 2019, I am not eligible for a house. I had gone to Bihar at the time because my mother had died,' he said. Savita Tiwari, 36, who too was born in the camp, alleged that the 2019 survey wrongly mentioned that she did not possess a ration card. 'But I have a ration card. I have showed it to officials. I have shown it in court. Why am I not eligible for a house then?' Goswami, his wife and three children stood on Wednesday morning, along with the camp's hundreds of residents, and watched bulldozers flatten the colony. 'I don't know where we will sleep tonight,' he said. .

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari confident India will soon become 3rd largest economy
New Delhi [India], May 25 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MP Manoj Tiwari on Sunday exuded confidence that India will soon overtake Germany to become the world's third-largest economy, noting that the difference between both countries is a close one. Speaking with ANI, 'We heard from the PM and the NITI Aayog itself during 2024 Lok Sabha Elections that we will become the third largest economy. We have come very near to our target. Along with Japan, the other country (Germany) is also at a close distance. We will soon be ahead. We are just waiting for a formal announcement of India becoming the third largest economy of the world. Manoj Tiwari comment came after NITI Aayog Chief Executive Officer (CEO) BVR Subrahmanyam said that India has overtaken Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy, citing data by the International Monetary Fund. BVR Subrahmanyam also highlighted that India can overtake Germany in another 2, 2.5 to 3 years. 'We are the fourth largest economy as I speak. We are a USD 4 trillion economy as I speak, and this is not my data. This is IMF data. India today is larger than Japan. It's only the United States, China, and Germany which are larger, and if we stick to, you know, what is being planned, what is being thought through, it's a matter of another 2, 2.5 to 3 years; we would become the third largest economy,' said BVR Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog. 'It's only the United States, China, and Germany which are larger, and if we stick to what is being planned, what is being thought through, it's a matter of another 2, 2.5 to 3 years; we would become the third largest economy,' Subrahmanyam added. According to the IMF's April edition of the World Economic Outlook report, the nominal GDP for fiscal 2026 is expected to reach around USD 4,187.017 billion. This is marginally more than the likely GDP of Japan, which is estimated at USD 4,186.431 billion. India was the fifth-largest economy in the world till 2024. The global financial body projects that India will remain the fastest-growing major economy over the next two years. India's economy is expected to grow by 6.2 per cent in 2025 and 6.3 per cent in 2026, maintaining a solid lead over global and regional peers, the April 2025 edition of the IMF's World Economic Outlook added. India is projected to remain the fastest-growing large economy for 2025 and 2026, reaffirming its dominance in the global economic landscape. In contrast, the IMF projects global economic growth to be much lower, at 2.8 per cent in 2025 and 3.0 per cent in 2026, highlighting India's exceptional outperformance. (ANI)
