Following the removal of the 64 structures, BMC was said to be scheduled to initiate road extension works at Bhattipada Junction, which was a busy route frequently used by commuters.

During the demolition drive conducted by the civic body on August 31, it was mentioned that 3 JCBs and 6 dumpers had been deployed on the site. Additionally, it was reported that 10 civic officials and 49 workers were present to carry out the operation.
