According to Ms. Atishi, residents of IndiraCamp in Shalimar Bagh and Lalbagh in Shahdara — both established with allotment cards in 1990 — have been asked to vacate their homes within 15 days. Lalbagh slums are scheduled for demolition on July 31.
According to ASI’s listing of the garden, the Shalimar Bagh—originally named Aizzabad Bagh—was possibly commissioned by Mughal emperorShah Jahan and named after his consort, Aizzu’n-Nisa Begum.
