Just like Colaba for Kasab, this dargah can become a safe landing spot for terrorists, Fadnavis' order - remove it

Mumbai (The Uttam Hindu) : In 2008, when the terrorist attack took place in Mumbai, Colaba was the landing spot for these savages who came from Pakistan. Ajmal Amir Kasab and his fellow terrorists who came to India from Pakistan via sea entered Mumbai from Colaba. After this, they played a bloody game in the city. The Devendra Fadnavis government is very alert to prevent such an incident from happening again in the future. This is the reason why CM Fadnavis has decided to take action against an illegal dargah located in Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation area which is allegedly emerging as another landing spot. It is suspected that this dargah can become a safe landing spot for terrorists. Its location is very close to the sea. It is being said that 'illegal activities' have increased rapidly here in the last four-five years.

This case is not only related to security and environmental violations, but also highlights a complex balance between communal sensitivity and administrative strictness. The Maharashtra government intends to completely demolish this dargah by May 2025. CM Devendra Fadnavis has also passed an order regarding this. In a secret letter written to the collector of Mira Bhayander in 2011, the police had described this dargah as a major threat to security. Due to its location on the seashore, it was feared that terrorists could enter Mumbai through this route and use the dargah to hide.

Police's warning about the dargah 14 years ago

This concern of Mumbai Police is not baseless. The 26/11 terrorist attack is also a witness to this. In that attack, Ajmal Kasab and his companions used the Colaba sea beach. In such a situation, this dargah is being seen as a possible "safe landing spot". However, the lack of concrete evidence to prove this threat raises a question. Is this just a suspicion or is there some intelligence behind it? In the last 14 years i.e. since 2011, no terrorist activity related to this dargah has come to light. In such a situation, is it being removed merely as a precaution?
