Encroachment on Malanggad over the last several years

A dargah named Hajimalang has been built at the Malanggad that belongs to Hindus. It houses the samadhi of 5 naths, primarily that of Shri Machhindranath. There has been a lot of opposition to Hindus visiting here, praying, and performing Puja and Aarti. This struggle has been going on for many years. The tomb of Haji Abdul Rahman Shah Malang alias Malang Baba, a Sufi fakir who came from Yemen in the 13th century, is built on this site. Shiv Sena has been fighting for this since the 1980s. This matter has also gone to the Court of Law.
