Bulldozers raze Meerut’s 'Connaught Place'. It's a story of master plan vs ‘organic markets’

Avas Vikas department of the Uttar Pradesh government demolished 22 shops in Meerut’s Central Market, following a Supreme Court order issues in December 2024. The action, carried out by the Meerut Housing and Development Board, marks the culmination of a decade-long legal dispute over encroachments. It is part of a wider urban ritual of bulldozers belatedly doing the work meant for planners. Authorities let “illegal” markets grow for decades, then flatten them as well as the economic activity they generate when court orders and other pressures catch up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exclusive content, special privileges & more – Subscribe to ThePrint for Special benefits: https://theprint.in/subscribe/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with ThePrint » Subscribe to ThePrint: https://theprint.in/subscribe/ » Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3nCMpht » Like us on Facebook:   / theprintindia   » Tweet us on Twitter:   / theprintindia   » Follow us on Instagram:   / theprintindia   » Find us on LinkedIn :   / theprint   » Subscribe to ThePrint on Telegram: https://t.me/ThePrintIndia » Find us on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2NMVlnB » Find us on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pEOta8
