Western Railway Dismantles 45 Illegal Huts in Bandra East

04 Dec 2024 CW Team

Western Railway has taken strong action against encroachments in Bandra East, Mumbai, by demolishing 45 unauthorised huts that posed a serious threat to the safety and smooth operation of the suburban railway network. This crackdown occurred a week after the state election results were announced.

The demolition took place near the southern side of the railway overpass in Garib Nagar, Bandra East, where temporary structures made of tin sheets, bamboo, and bricks were found. The operation was conducted by a team of 30 railway officials, supported by two JCB machines and trucks, with police forces ensuring law and order during the drive.

Railway officials explained that the huts were endangering passenger safety, as people were frequently crossing the tracks in dangerous areas. While temporary structures were removed, there are concerns about permanent, multi-storey encroachments in the vicinity.

Politicians from various parties have expressed concerns about the lack of rehabilitation for the displaced residents, making the demolition of slums on railway land a challenging issue.
