The Municipal Corporation of Delhi demolished two unauthorized religious structures located in a park in Shahbad Dairy’s E-block on Thursday. The demolition drive lasted for about three hours, involving a team of municipal workers, bulldozers, and a police force.
Key Details:
- Area Demolished: The structures were built on a 400 square yard plot inside a park.
- Reason for Demolition: The park had been encroached upon, and both religious structures were built illegally. Notices had been issued to remove the structures, but action was taken after no compliance was observed.
Execution of Demolition:
- Heavy Equipment Used: Four bulldozers were deployed to carry out the demolition.
- Manpower: Around 50 municipal workers were involved in ensuring that the operation went smoothly without disruptions.
- Police Protection: A large police force, including 60 officers, was deployed to prevent any law and order issues during the demolition.
Official Statement:
The Municipal Corporation’s officials explained that both the temple and mazar were built illegally without any permission, and despite multiple notices, the encroachment was not removed. Following the legal procedure, the structures were finally demolished.
The operation was carried out without any major disruptions, and the authorities assured that similar actions would be taken against any other unauthorized encroachments in public spaces to ensure that parks and other public amenities are preserved for the residents.
This demolition is part of the government’s broader plan to remove illegal structures that are encroaching on public land, especially in areas reserved for public use such as parks and playgrounds.
