The structure which was in the middle of the road became a safety concern for motorists. In September 2019, LRPF had lodged a complaint with the National Highway Authorities of India seeking the removal of the unauthorized dargah. In April-May 2018, a vehicle had hit the dargah damaging the walls of the structure. On 10th September 2019, the dargah community started reconstruction and orders were issued to stop the same. However, there was concrete decision taken by the district administration. Following this, the National Highways Authority of India wrote to Telangana State Wakf Board seeking removal of Islamic Structure.
The LRPF in a tweet on 19th April 2021 updated that the structure in question has been removed.
