New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) A day after four people were killed in police firing, Delhi government Thursday temporarily suspended the anti-sealing drive against illegal units operating in residential areas.

At the same time, the government and the city police ordered separate inquiries into the causes leading to the firing in the Seelampur area in the national capital.

While the government ordered a judicial inquiry to the killings, including two minors, Delhi Police said its Crime Branch will probe the causes that led to police using firearms.

Taking note of the growing resentment and anger among the people in the capital, the Delhi government also announced compensation of Rs.200,000 to the kin of the those killed and Rs.100,000 for the kin of the two minors. The injured would get Rs.50,000 each.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, who heads the group of ministers (GoM) set up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to look into the issues pertaining to the sealing drive in Delhi, reviewed the situation at a high-level meeting.

The meeting was attended by Lt Governor of Delhi B.L. Joshi, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Home Secretary V.K. Duggal and other top officials including Union Urban Development Secretary Anil Baijal and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD)Commissioner A.K. Nigam.

Officials said two companies of Border Security Force (BSF) were deployed at Seelampur in northeast Delhi.

According to the hospital reports, four people have died, while 115 people were injured in the violence that broke out between policemen and residents.

Senior officials in the Delhi government said six people were being treated at the Guru Tegh Bahadur hospital while 109 of the injured were discharged from the hospital Thursday after treatment.

Officials said the sealing drive was halted in view of the "sensitivity" of the issue. City police have also arrested 32 people for Wednesday's violence.

"Looking at the sensitivity of the issue we are not carrying out the sealing drive today. Moreover, Delhi Police have also advised us about the same," said Parimal Rai, deputy commissioner (engineering), MCD.

"Delhi Police said they cannot provide us with any forces today, and till we get adequate security the sealing of properties cannot continue," Rai told IANS. He said the zonal deputy commissioners were taking stock of the ground situation.

According to MCD sources, the sealing squads fear a threat to their lives and have refused to step out.

The civic authorities Thursday managed to seal only 29 shops in the 12 zones of Delhi in the wake of the widespread violence and protest by over 500 trade bodies.

Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit late Wednesday ordered a magisterial inquiry into the violence and the subsequent police firing in Seelampur.

The team will inquire into the involvement of anti-social elements in the Seelampur violence, said sources in the chief minister's office.

Police are on the lookout for some Bangladeshis who they suspect were behind the firing on the protesting crowds with country-made weapons.

A Rapid Action Force company and another from the Delhi Police Armed Constabulary have been deployed to maintain vigil Thursday in the violence-rocked areas.
