The staff of Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation facilitated implementation of a road widening project by demolishing a temple and a dargah built encroaching upon a road. The demolition drive was carried out under police protection on Wednesday and with the cooperation of the local residents, with whom the authorities had held discussions earlier and convinced them of the need for shifting both religious structures to alternative sites. Considering the sensitivity of the issue, 35 police personnel were deployed for security and two vehicles of the City Armed Reserve Police were also stationed at Heggeri where the demolition drive was carried out.More Related News
