Delhi Demolition: Tamil Nadu Offers Aid After Madrasi Camp Eviction
Imagine people from Tamil Nadu lived in a place called Madrasi Camp in Delhi.
The government removed the camp because it was built illegally near a drain.
The Tamil Nadu government is now offering help to these people to move back to their home districts.
Some residents were unhappy, saying they want jobs, but the government says they will provide support.
The court said some of the families can move to new homes, and the government is helping them with this.
The demolition happened after the court ordered it because the camp was blocking a drain.
The demolition was meant to help with the flooding.
Tamil Nadu government is offering assistance to residents of Delhi's Madrasi Camp who wish to return home.
