Makeshift structure replaces demolished temple at Chandni Chowk, NDMC mayor says respect 'astha' of bhakts

A makeshift steel structure has come up at the spot where a temple was demolished in Chandni Chowk area a few months ago even as the Delhi High Court declared that the temple was “an encroachment”, preventing redevelopment of the area. The said temple was declared an "encroachment" by the Delhi High Court, which also added that a road has to be constructed as the part of Chandni Chowk redevelopment plan. Delhi units of the BJP and AAP have sparred over the demolition of the "old Hanuman temple" as part of the ongoing Chandni Chowk beautification plan. In a tweet on Friday, the mayor shared two photos of the makeshift structure, and said he would visit the site later in the day and seek "Lord Hanuman's blessings"?
