Bulldozer action at Kandivali Mahavir Nagar Khau Galli

This is quite different from the BMC’s usual approach. Previously, they would simply confiscate stalls using their trucks, and stall owners would pay a bribe to reclaim them. But this time, it’s full-scale JCB and bulldozer action, with all unauthorized stalls being completely demolished. I’m curious, what prompted such a drastic step? Though, to be fair, it was needed. This place had turned into a filthy, unhygienic mess.
