The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has carried out a demolition drive to remove unauthorized shanties situated along the banks of Kalwa Creek. The action was taken to address the issue of numerous unauthorized structures hindering the development of the creek area and contributing to the erosion of the creek shore.

"Since the creek shore is being washed away day by day, the possibility of causing great damage at this place in the future cannot be ruled out," the TMC said.
