At about 4.30 pm, an MC team led by Municipal Town Planner (MTP) Kamaljit Kaur and DSP Amandeep Kaur Gill, along with about 50 policemen and MC employees, went to the site where a gurdwara was being constructed since January 1. At this site, one room was constructed with a kutcha roof, and further construction was being raised. According to MC officials, this land was of a nallah which once flowed here. The MC team was accompanied by two bulldozers, for demolishing the building.

Seeing the MC team, the area residents gathered at the spot and started demonstrating against the MC team, and raised slogans against them. Following this, the MC team called Senior Town Planner (STP) Balkar Singh Bajaj and Joint Commissioner-cum-Zonal Commissioner Ashok Bajaj. These officials kept listening to the arguments by the protesting people.
