Structure Allegedly Expanded Over Time, Caused Traffic Congestion
According to the administration, a mazar was initially built at the site around 10 to 15 years ago. Officials alleged that it was later enclosed and gradually expanded into a dargah without authorisation.
Loni Joint Magistrate Deepak said the structure stood on land belonging to the Public Works Department (PWD). He claimed that nearly 50 square yards of government land had been encroached upon for the construction.
Officials said the dargah was located beside a busy U-turn through which a large number of vehicles passed every day. According to the administration, the encroachment frequently resulted in traffic congestion, affecting the smooth movement of commuters.
Authorities said they expect traffic flow to improve following the removal of the structure and that motorists using the route are likely to benefit from reduced bottlenecks.

A large police contingent was deployed to maintain law and order during the demolition. DCP Rural Surendra Nath Tiwari monitored the operation on the ground, while two ACPs, several station house officers and around 500 police personnel were stationed in the area.
The administration also cleared other alleged encroachments from nearby government land during the drive. Officials said action against illegal occupations would continue in the district and asserted that encroachments on public land would not be allowed regardless of the nature of the structure.
