The Morning Standard|August 03, 2024
THERE has been no end to the bafflement of national pistol coach Samaresh Jung and his Commonwealth gold medal winner wife Anuja, as well as scores of residents of Khyber Pass, who have been asked to vacate their homes in the colony where they have been living for decades.
Manu Bhaker coach receives demolition notice

A demolition drive by the Land and Development Office (L&DO) is scheduled for early Saturday morning in north Delhi's Khyber Pass on a high court order. When PTI visited the area on Thursday, it found several families rushing to pack their belongings and hunting for places to take shelter.

Jung, who returned from Paris Olympics Thursday evening, was perplexed at the demolition notice.

"You want to conduct a demolition drive, but it should be conducted in a proper way and people should be given time. How can a person vacate his house in just one day?" said Jung, the coach of Olympics medal-winner Manu Bhaker.
