The demolition of the encroached Dargah underscores the administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and reclaiming public spaces from illegal occupants. 

With stringent enforcement measures and concerted efforts to address unauthorized constructions, authorities aim to safeguard public assets and maintain the integrity of urban spaces in Junagadh.
