Hyderabad: The Majlis Bachao Tehreek has strongly condemned the demolition of 120-year-old Dhobi Ghat in Chaderghat area to facilitate the Hyderabad Metro Rail works. According to MBT leader and ex-corporator Amjad Ullah Khan, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) officials, along with heavy contingent of police personnel demolished the Dhobi Ghat without serving any notice.
He alleged that Muslim religious flags (Jhande Gouse Azam Dastagir RA) were also damaged by the authorities. He said the demolition drive has displaced nearly 90 families of washermen, who also lost their livelihood. “The HMR had also put in huge mounds of mud inside the bed of Musi River damaging the natural flow of water,” he alleged.
Upon receiving the information, Amjad Ullah Khan reached the spot and stopped further demolition. He also gave a written complaint to the Inspector of Police, Mirchowk Police Station, for taking necessary action against the GHMC and HMR officials for hurting the religious sentiments by damaging the Muslim Religious Flags.
The MBT leader said Dhobi Ghat under survey number 112/2 in Musi River was allotted to 90 Dhobis about 120 years ago by the then Nizam. He said the HMR authorities could not displace the families until they construct a new Dhobi Ghat and also allot new houses for the affected families.
