Rs 600 crore rail land, Eid fears: Why Mumbai eviction drive turned chaotic

Western Railway commenced a massive anti-encroachment drive at Garib Nagar, Mumbai, demolishing hundreds of structures near Bandra station to reclaim valuable railway land. The operation, aimed at facilitating railway expansion, faced resistance and violence, resulting in injuries and detentions. Residents allege inadequate rehabilitation and express distress over demolitions preceding Eid.
