In a controversial move, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) demolished the house of Wakeel Hassan, a rat-hole miner who was part of the Uttarakhand tunnel rescue operation. Hassan, along with other rat miners, had saved 41 lives in the Silkyara tunnel last year.

Hassan himself expressed deep sadness over the demolition, questioning why his house was razed despite their heroic efforts. The incident has raised questions about the treatment of the rat miners who risked their lives to save others.
