The Indore civic authorities removed a temple obstructing the Musakhedi bridge construction, shifting its platform and idols to another site using a crane. Bajrang Dal activists arrived at the location and protested the move.
Indore municipal officials deployed a crane to dismantle a temple that stood in the path of the upcoming Musakhedi bridge. The structure, including its platform and idols, was carefully lifted and moved to a nearby location to clear the way for construction work.
The administration said the temple had been identified as an obstruction to the bridge project, necessitating its removal to avoid delays and ensure safety standards during the infrastructure development.
Upon hearing about the relocation, activists from the Bajrang Dal reached the site and voiced their opposition, demanding that the temple be reinstated at its original spot.
No reports of injuries or arrests emerged from the incident, and civic authorities maintained that the transfer was carried out following the prescribed procedures for such relocations.
