The caretaker of the Dargah, where the anti-encroachment drive was carried out, Yusuf Baig, said, “This Dargah was built 500 years back. The Dargah is from a time when there was neither a road nor a footpath. We had talked to the SDM earlier. He said some parts had to be razed, so we removed 13 meters of construction and yet action was taken.”
The PWD team removed the tin shed and razed two rooms and walls.
