New Delhi:Â Gali number 13 is a typical lane in Shiv Vihar Phase-6, a low-income neighbourhood in North-East Delhi. The lane is so narrow only two-wheelers can pass through. Sewage flows in open drains on both sides. On one end of the lane is a Hanuman temple. On the other is the Madina mosque.
In February 2020, this was one of the sites of the worst communal riots in Delhiâs history since the 1984 anti-Sikh pogrom. Fifty-three people were killed and thousands more were injured or displaced. At Gali number 13, rioters damaged the Madina mosque; and Muslim familiesâ homes near it were burnt, damaged or vandalised.
