In Dwarka Gujarat officials started tearing down buildings that they said were illegally built on government land. This happened over three days and they destroyed about 200 homes and other structures in Bet Dwarka. The main thing they targeted was a religious building called Hazrat Panj Peer Dargah in Okha because officials claimed it was illegally built on land belonging to the Gujarat Maritime Board.
The local government used bulldozers to clear a lot of land. They said the main reason for the demolition was to take back government property that was being used illegally. Demolishing the buildings in Bet Dwarka and the Dargah in Okha shows that the officials are serious about enforcing land rules and getting rid of buildings they say are unauthorized.
The demolition took place over a few days and involved a lot of heavy machines. The authorities said the constructions were illegal especially those built on land owned by the Gujarat Maritime Board. The result was that many homes were destroyed along with the Dargah. This event shows that the local government is focused on dealing with illegal land use and making sure they clear areas that are illegally occupied.
