A portion of Padma Shri awardee Olympian Mohammed Shahid’s house here was demolished in a road-widening drive, triggering a protest from the late hockey player’s family.  According to the administration, the demolition was carried out only on those properties for which compensation had already been paid. The iconic hockey player’s home is located along the Kachery-Sandaha route.
