Decades-old settlements demolished near dargah

Claiming encroachment on forest land, the state forest department on Thursday razed around 50-60 shops and lodges at Malanggad hillock near Kalyan, known for Haji Malang Dargah (shrine).

The demolition drive, which started early in the morning, was carried out at settlements on the top of the hill as well as in its foothill. By the time a local court in Kalyan put a halt on the demolitions, the forest staff was done for the day. Many of the properties brought down by the authorities were as old as 70 years, causing a loss of livelihood to several residents, who have been living in the area for generations.
