Initially, due to non-availability of Police bandobast, the demolition of the illegal hutments was not being carried out. en, a request was made to Shri. Vishwas Nagre Patil, Additional Commissioner of Police (Western Suburbs) for deployment

A personal meeting was also arranged on 21st December 2012 with him, along with local residents - and the magnitude of the issue was impressed upon him. e demolition was carried out on 21st December 2012 - (with full Police deployment) by the BMC and MSRDC.

Also, it was necessary to urgently construct a compound wall and deploy security personnel to protect it from any further encroachments.
