A heavy police force was deployed in the area to prevent any untoward incident.Officials said that the demolition action is being taken up to further widen the road for Saharanpur Highway. "A decision was taken by the Religious Committee of Delhi to remove a Hanuman Temple and a Mazar to further widen the road for Saharanpur Highway. Both structures are removed peacefully," DCP Northeast Joy N Tirkey said.However, Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Atishi has hit out at the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Vinai Kumar Saxena, and demanded to stop the action."LG Sahab: A few days ago, I write a letter to you requesting to withdraw the decision to demolish the temples and other religious structures in Delhi. But today, again a temple was demolished in the Bhajanpura area on your order," Atishi said in a tweet.She further 'requested' the Delhi LG not to demolish the religious structures as they are associated with people's faith.Last week, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) removed illegal construction outside the Shani temple in the Mandawali area.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
