Maharashtra Kolhapur Anti-Encroachment News: People pelted stones at the administration team that reached Vishalgad Fort in Kolhapur district of Maharashtra to remove encroachment. In this case, the police arrested 21 people and registered a case against 500 people. In such a situation, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ statement has also come out regarding this incident. He said that the Mahayuti government is committed to resolve the issue of encroachment on the fort legally.

While answering media questions, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “Vishalgadh Fort is a witness to the history of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Encroachment of such historical sites will not be tolerated. The state government intends to remove encroachment from all historical sites. If someone plays politics behind removing it and protects the encroachment just to get votes of a community, then we will take appropriate action against him.”

What is the whole matter?
Let us tell you that the anti-encroachment campaign at Vishalgad Fort in Kolhapur district turned violent last Sunday when the crowd present there pelted stones at the policemen and damaged the properties. The police have arrested 21 people in this case. At the same time, the situation became more tense when some right-wing activists led by former MP Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati of the Maratha royal family from Pune were stopped outside the fort by the police in view of the prohibitory order.

Vishalgad Fort is located 76 km north-west of Kolhapur in Maharashtra. This is the same fort where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj reached after escaping from the trap of Bijapur’s Adilshahi army. Vishalgad Fort also has the dargah of Hazrat Syed Malik Rehan Mir Saheb, where the Muslim population is high.
