Speaking to reporters, the president of the Thane Zilla Patrakar Sangh Sanjay Pitale said the plot was allotted for the Sangh in 1988 for the construction of the Patrakar Bhavan for the district exclusively to be used for the purpose of the journalists.
Following the misuse by the developer, the sangh took up the issue with the collector and state government and finally the structure has been pulled down, the official added.
