The state Urban Development Department (UDD) has sought assistance from the home department after the Navi Mumbai police failed to provide security for the demolition of nine-year-old religious structures. These structures illegally occupied a dangerous 2.3 lakh square feet on the landslide-prone Belapur Hill.

This action follows directives from the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) to CIDCO and various government departments, prompted by media reports highlighting landslide risks posed by these structures to residents.
