Supposedly illegal roadside stalls in the Naya Nagar area of Mira Road which witnessed communal clashes two days back were razed by the civic body using bulldozers on Tuesday, officials said. However, locals told mid-day that they find it unfair that MBMC only conducted demolition in the Naya Nagar area and did not address similar issues in other parts of Mira Road.

Cops and a rapid action force were present at the spot
