Where are our local representatives? My well-established business ended today, now how will I run my family?” asked one of the 17 people whose shops outside Mulund railway station the BMC demolished on Friday to make way for pedestrians. A team of six junior engineers, three sub engineers and 40 labourers from T ward arrived at the spot at 11 am and gave the shop owners one hour to vacate with their valuables. Under the protection of 25 cops, labourers bulldozed the shops.
“The shop owners were given an hour to remove any valuables or combustible materials stored inside the shops. It took around two hours to demolish the structures, while the process to remove the debris was going on until late in the evening,” an official said. Civic officials said they will now focus on clearing the shops on the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Road along the west side of the railway station.
