The inspection was led by District Magistrate (East) Amol Srivastava and Shahdara South Zone Deputy Commissioner Badal Kumar. The officials visited multiple locations including IP Extension Ward, Ghazipur Murga Mandi, Khichripur (Khadoli) Ward, Road No 57, and Preet Vihar.

At Ghazipur Murga Mandi, an area that has previously witnessed anti-encroachment action by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the officials noted the re-emergence of illegal structures. The local police were directed to increase surveillance and ensure that encroachments do not return.
