Hey mate.....
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.
=========================================
The British wanted to Delhi to forget its Mughal past so it changed the old city of Delhi.
The area around Fort was completely cleared of gardens, pavilions and mosques. The British wanted a clear ground for security reasons. Mosques in particular were either destroyed, or put out to other uses. For instance, the Zinat-al-Masjid was converted into a bakery. No worship was allowed in the Jama Masjid for five years. One-third of the city was demolished, and its canals were filled up.
=========================================
I HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
PLEASE, MARK MY ANSWER AS BRAINLIEST.
