Morena, February 12: The Railway department has served a notice to Lord Bajrang Bali asking for the removal of the "encroachment" on the Railway land in Sabalgarh town in Madhya Pradesh's Morena district, but withdrew it after realising the mistake, an official said on Sunday.

The notice addressed to Bajrang Bali and issued on February 8, directed the removal of the encroachment within seven days or face action. The encroacher will have to pay the expense if the Railways takes action to remove the structure, it said. The notice was pasted at the temple of the deity. Rahul Gandhi Slams Anti-Encroachment Drive in Jammu and Kashmir, Says ‘People Want Love, but BJP Giving Bulldozers’.
