Delhi Faces Multiple Crises: MCD Chief Under Fire, Court Actions, and BRICS Shutdown

On September 7, 2026, Delhi is grappling with several issues, including the fallout from the Satya Niketan tragedy, which has put Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) chief Sanjeev Khirwar under scrutiny and led to calls for his resignation. In court news, Ashish Joshi, who was grilled by police last week, has moved the Delhi court to seek a copy of the FIR, while Swatantra Bhardwaj's judicial custody has been extended until September 21. Additionally, the MCD has ordered the immediate sealing of all illegal structures above four floors, with guilty officials facing dismissal. Meanwhile, Delhi schools and government offices will be closed on September 11 for the BRICS summit.
