“OpIndia ground report: Benches allocated from Congress leader’s grant, pillars and wire fencing: Multiple illegal mazars built around Ranjit Sagar dam area, Jamnagar”, Opindia, May 14, 2024:
“OpIndia recently published a report on government land encroachment near the Ranjit Sagar Dam in Gujarat’s Jamnagar district. We reported how unlawful dargahs and shrines occupy thousands of square feet of land. In our report, we found that the Dargah, which has been ordered by the government to be removed in 2022, is still standing. On Monday (13th May), OpIndia’s team arrived at Ranjit Sagar Dam and assessed the present situation.
OpIndia captured an exhaustive view of the encroachment on Ranjit Sagar Dam. We found that not only have unlawful mazars have been built on thousands of square feet of land but the entire area was also occupied in the name of enclosing them.
Meanwhile, we learnt that encroachment had taken place in the form of fencing surrounding mazars, benches for sitting, and other structures. Perfume bottles and religious texts were also found here……”
