Plan to kill a relic

Known as Mahatma Jyotiba Phule market, the heritage centre is spread over 20,000 sq km of which more than 5,000 sq m is a Grade-I heritage structure. When the redevelopment plan came up for discussion in 2006, several reports linking it with Mumbai's underworld also popped up and many demanded a CBI inquiry which never happened. The plan was hurriedly cleared in September 2007.
