The Municipal Corporation of Delhi filed a response on February 3 stating that the dhalao in Jangpura-A is a critical secondary waste collection point serving Jangpura A, Jangpura Extension and Bhogal. Three other dhalaos in the area have already been shut down in recent months. MCD said closing the facility would be "counter productive, environmentally unsound, and contrary to the object of the Solid Waste Management Rules".

A resident of Jangpura A filed a plea last year seeking closure, citing persistent littering, scattered garbage, stray animals and health risks. The site is adjacent to St Michael's Church campus, which houses a children's home for abandoned children.

MCD responded that waste is transported strictly to authorised facilities including the waste-to-energy plant at Tehkhand and sanitary landfill at Okhla. Sanitation staff are regularly deployed for maintenance. Ten bins of 1,100-litre capacity were installed at the site. MCD stated "Recent photographs depict cleanliness, orderly storage of waste and proper management at the site".

The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, originally built for the 1982 Asian Games and refurbished for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, may be demolished and redeveloped into a modern sports city modelled after Qatar's Aspire Zone and Australian facilities.

The 102-acre complex will be transformed into a state-of-the-art hub featuring world-class training and event infrastructure. Only 28% of the land is currently used; the new facility will be multipurpose, accommodating sports clubs, residential facilities, and entertainment venues.

Real estate impact varies by area:

• Ultra-premium zones like Golf Links (bungalows sell for over ₹100 crore) unlikely to see major price changes; the project will sustain their ultra-premium status
• Jor Bagh, Defence Colony, and Jangpura (mostly redeveloped apartments) may attract high-value tenants and see rental value increases due to enhanced wellness and sports amenities
• Gen Z affluent buyers in redeveloped flats may be drawn to new sports facilities; marginal valuation upticks possible due to demand-supply mismatch
• Modern apartments in Jor Bagh sell for around ₹25 crore

Property prices in premium neighbourhoods typically rise with new infrastructure like flyovers and improved connectivity. India is bidding to host 2036 Olympics and 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad.

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K. Selvaperunthagai condemned the eviction of hundreds of Tamils from Jangpura area in Delhi and demolition of their homes based on a court order. Most evicted were daily wage workers, domestic workers and laborers. The statement noted that demolitions with police assistance affected children's education, leaving women without security, water and electricity. The Union Government and Delhi BJP government provided no complete relief. Selvaperunthagai demanded: accommodation for displaced persons, employment opportunities in nearby areas, compensation for property loss, and criticized lack of prior notice or solutions provided before displacement.
