Mafia Intimidation Halts Demolition of Illegal Unit in Nalasopara

A tense standoff unfolded in Nalasopara East as a Vasai Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) demolition squad was forced to abandon their operation against an illegal industrial unit due to threats from local goons.

Demolition Attempt Thwarted by Mafia

The demolition drive, prompted by a recent fatal building collapse and the subsequent directive to remove illegal structures, was met with unexpected resistance. The VVCMC team arrived at the site prepared to dismantle the illegal unit, but were confronted by a group of individuals seemingly connected to the illegal operation. This hostile environment forced the team to retreat, highlighting the real dangers faced by civic officials in enforcing regulations.

VVCMC Requests Police Assistance for Future Demolition

Following the unsuccessful attempt, the VVCMC has formally requested police assistance to ensure the safety of their personnel during future demolition operations. The incident underscores the urgent need for greater protection for those working to uphold building codes and prevent future tragedies. The VVCMC is determined to proceed with the demolition, but recognizes the need for a strong police presence to counter potential threats.
