Bhubaneswar: A joint eviction squad of Bhubaneswar Development Authority and Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) today completed the demolition process of an unauthorised temple near Gate No. 6 of Kalinga Stadium.

The demolished temple was constructed over a plot size of 900 square feet and its height was 50 feet. The joint eviction team on its first drive around the stadium on last Friday, had began the process, but due to the lack of a chain-mounted Poclain machine, could not progressed much.
Along with the temple, the joint eviction team cleared and reclaimed about 0.250 decimal government land from the area near Central Poultry Development Organisation at Jaydev Vihar.
BDA Additional Commissioner-cum-Member Enforcement Bhabani Shankar Chayani led the enforcement team today. Several senior enforcement officials were also present.
