The Supreme Court ruling on parking policy on September 2, 2019 declared that “footpaths are for pedestrians. The court criticised the encroaching of footpaths for gardening and installing cabins for security guards. This is one such lane in Greater Kailash-II where the footpath is just for the cabin crew.
The court ordered that encroachers be given a 15-day notice to remove encroachment. If they fail, municipal authorities will remove it and recover the cost from them as arrears of land revenue. This is another example of a footpath being turned into a personal garden by residents of tony Greater Kailash-II.

All the municipal corporations in the Capital have been directed to ensure that all pavements in residential areas are cleared from all encroachment to make them usable by pedestrians. Here residents have turned the footpath into a chained-up parking zone. Let’s hope the SC order speeds up sustainable mobility pathways.

Delhi, the capital of India, is also its second most populous city. It draws hordes of migrants, who come in search of better lives. However, with the city failing to meet the needs of all migrants, many do not get even that most basic necessity shelter.
And it is during Delhi's notoriously cold winters that the need for shelter is particularly felt. The homeless of Delhi usually live on the capital's pavements, with no protection from the elements. Here, they bathe, cook, go to work and eat.
At the end of the day, when everything is done, it is time to hit the sack. But for the homeless of Delhi, who number at least a lakh (by 2011 Census), that is easier said than done. Nobody would want to snooze on a pavement, under foggy and rainy skies, with temperatures hitting below zero.
The number of severe cold days in the national capital in December 2019, made it the coldest December in a century after 1997. The Delhi government does provide night-time shelters for the homeless during winter. These are called 'Rain Baseras', a Hindi word meaning night homes.
However, the night shelters provided by the government are usually not good. They do not have enough blankets, quilts or other things to keep out the cold. Many homeless persons thus have no choice but to sleep out in the bitter cold.
