Residents in a Delhi locality have been forced into a "virtual prison" after the Municipal Corporation of Delhi sealed multiple homes with brick walls to facilitate school construction in Patel Nagar. With no prior notice, families now climb rooftops or squeeze through gaps to exit their homes, while emergency services cannot access the area. Officials promise a main gate will be installed soon, but residents continue to struggle with severely restricted movement and safety concerns.
