Mumbai
The notice issued to demolish the 80-year-old Lord Hanuman temple outside Dadar Railway Station in Mumbai has been put on hold. This step was taken after the intervention of Bharatiya Janata Party leaders. According to the information received, on December 4, Central Railway had issued a notice to the trustees of the temple, claiming that the construction of the temple is illegal. This is disrupting the movement of trains and causing inconvenience to the passengers. The notice ordered the removal of the temple within seven days.
Former minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha told reporters that he met Central Railway officials along with a delegation of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal. Also, he talked to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav to resolve the matter and his efforts were successful. He said, ‘The Railway Minister has decided to cancel the demolition order on temples. People will be able to worship there as usual. Now we are also going to perform aarti there.
Aditya Thackeray performed Maha Aarti
Amid the controversy over Railways issuing notice to demolish the temple, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray on Saturday performed Maha Aarti at the Hanuman temple located outside Dadar station. Aditya Thackeray reached the temple in the evening and performed Maha Aarti. During this time, party leaders Anil Desai, Sanjay Raut and many workers were also present with him. Earlier, while talking to reporters, Aditya targeted BJP on this issue. He said that she uses the ideology of Hindutva only to get votes. He said that Railways has stopped the demolition action, but it should withdraw the notice.
