Illegal huts hamper port operations.
Byline: Olav Albuquerque
: About 22,000 illegal huts on Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) land have long hampered port operations, but officials say they can't remove the encroachers because politicians of all hues oppose demolitions.
On May 20, politicians from different parties led a procession of illegal hutment dwellers to Azad Maidan.
They met the MbPT authorities and demanded that huts that had come up before 1995 should not be razed without alternate accommodation being provided.
Shiv Sena MP Mohan Rawle later met chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh to get an assurance from him about this.
"How did these huts come up without the complicity of the MbPT authorities? Were they sleeping when these people built the huts? These are poor people from all parts of the country such as Tamil Nadu, U.P. and Rajasthan. Where will they go during monsoon? The MbPT has to relocate them. But huts which have come up after 1995 should be demolished,'' Mr Rawle said.
