GHMC officials said that the encroachments were obstructing water flow.
Speaking to Siasat.com, Tolichowki Circle Inspector Ramesh Naik said, “The demolition drive began at 9 am and is currently underway. There was mild tension in the area, but no detentions were made.”
While some residents resisted the demolition drive, others welcomed the move, alleging that the huts were being used to sell liquor.
Mohammed Maulana, a resident of Hakeempet, said, “The huts were used for the sale of liquor, and the youth used to loiter around for the past 35 years. I thank the GHMC for the demolition drive.”
