850-metre ramp being built lands behind historic shrine where a big parking lot is being readied
The rat-rat-rat of pneumatic drill breaks the calm of the day halfway up the Maula Ali hillock. The smooth rock is now pock-marked with holes. Blocks of granite are tossed to one side as workers insert chisels to crack the rock into pieces to build a ₹25-crore ramp that will transform the small spiritual shrine. A grey haze of granite dust hangs in the air.

The small hilltop shrine is reached by an almost vertical flight of steps numbering 147. Threatened by continuous pulverising of rocks in the surrounding area, the religious place was on the verge of collapse when a trust run by NRIs stepped in.
