With a large number of traders bearing the brunt of the sealing drive in several markets of Delhi, political parties are going all out to make it a key poll plank even though a section of business persons feel that it is a "non-issue".
Locals and police personnel clashed in Delhi's Mayapuri after MCD officials began a sealing drive for closing down polluting factories in the area. The sealing drive was launched on NGT orders.
Around 15 officials sustained injuries in the incident and had to be taken to a hospital, police said.

The Supreme Court had earlier termed as very unfortunate the killing of a woman officer, who was supervising demolition of an unauthorised construction, allegedly by a Kasauli hotel owner saying it was due to the "non-implementation" of law.
Kejriwal had on Friday threatened that he would go on hunger strike if the sealing drive is not stopped by March 31.

Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal said that the Delhi government will approach Supreme Court seeking a temporary ban on sealing drive.
