Delhi's public works department, which comes within the administrative ambit of the Aam Aadmi Party government, on Friday razed the stairs of the under-construction headquarters of the Congress party after they were found to be encroaching the footpath towards the DDU Road in the national capital, an official said.

A PWD personnel at the spot said a survey of the under-construction building revealed that the stairs were built on the footpath and, hence, had to be demolished.

"A PWD survey revealed that the stairs were encroaching a footpath, thus necessitating the demolition," the PWD official said.

The demolition exercise at the under-construction Congress headquarters coincided with the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi as a member of the Lok Sabha on Friday. -- ANI
