After two-day break, the demolition drive against unauthorised religious structures resumed on Thursday with the administration bringing down about five temples and shrines along the stretch from Khan Nagar Ring Road to Madhupatna.
Madhupatna Puja Mandap became the first casualty among the several mandaps that have been listed for demolition by the administration. The mandap that is among the leading ones in the City was brought down in an operation that stretched over an hour.
Though the demolition went on smoothly without protests or resistance, it disrupted traffic on the National Highway No-5 for over an hour as blockades had to be enforced to enable operation of the bulldozers and machinery.
