DCP (Dwarka) SK Meena said Mohan Garden is congested and a lot of aboriginals of foreign nationals are residing in the area. Most of them are tenants as owners prefer to let out their houses to them and charge them exorbitantly.

"Most of the time many of them are found to be involved in either cheating or in selling drugs. The staff try to keep a tab on their activities and remain vigilant by verifying their credentials when they come across them." said Meena.
