BBC NEWS | South Asia | Delhi fashion shops demolished

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Delhi fashion shops demolished: "'We were doing good business and getting foreign revenue. The mall was a success story but a lot of people could not digest that,' he said.
One designer who preferred to be unnamed said they had been selectively picked up for action by the municipal authorities.
'Municipal officials should demolish all such structures in the city together. They should not pick and choose,' he said.
The Delhi high court, which has ordered the demolitions, recently remarked that action should be taken against the 'powerful and the influential of the city' to send a message to the common man that he was not being discriminated against."

If they were illegal they should have been demolished I guess, even if they were targetted demolitions.
