India Bulldozes Poor Areas Ahead of G20 Summit in Delhi

HeadlineSep 06, 2023

India is preparing to host the G20’s annual summit for the first time. The talks begin in Delhi on Saturday. For months Indian authorities have ordered bulldozers to destroy the homes of people who live in shanties near the G20 conference. Many displaced residents say they have no place to go.

Khushboo Devi: “We have been living here for the last 25 to 30 years. Where do we go now that our houses are suddenly demolished? We have no facilities or a place to live, and we have become homeless and are on the road. I hope the authorities get sick and die and they will be cursed by the poor.”
