Abstract: *Yamuna Gently Weeps: A Journey into the Yamuna Pushta Slum Demolitions* delves into the hardships faced by residents of the Yamuna Pushta slums in Delhi, where brutal demolitions threaten their homes along the riverbank. These marginalized communities are left to suffer under the apathy of urban development policies that label them as “outcasts.” Through expert insights, the narrative explores the political, environmental, and social factors driving this crisis, emphasizing the human cost of displacement. Yamuna, both a symbol of beauty and hardship, reflects the resilience of these communities amidst ongoing urban transformation.
