Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Saturday intervened to stop the demolition of Hanuman Mandir and other four temples in the Dadar station premise. The Central Railway had initially issued removal notices to five unauthorised temple structures within the Dadar Station premises. The Hanuman Mandir, Gurudeo Dutt Mandir, Mahadev Mandir, Shiv Mandir, and Mahalaxmi Mandir were given seven days to clear the encroachments. 

Following directives, the Central Railway (CR) has now decided to stay the notices served to all these temples. While Hanuman Mandir is located opposite the Swaminarayan Mandir and near the Railway Protection Force (RPF) office on platform no 12, the Guru Datta Mandir is located near platform 8 between CR and WR, the Mahadev Mandir located at Dadar-Parel officers’ colony and Mahalaxmi Mandir near platform 12.
