Gujarat Clears 100 Acres of Encroachment at Mitha Port
In Gujarat, authorities cleared 100 acres of land near Mitha Port that people had taken over illegally.
They used big machines and many police officers to remove the illegal buildings.
The land is worth a lot of money, and the area had many people doing bad things like stealing and breaking rules.
This is part of a bigger effort to keep the coast safe and stop illegal activities.
Last year, they did something similar and cleared even more land.
The government is trying hard to make sure these areas are safe and follow the rules.
Authorities cleared 100 acres of illegal encroachments at Mitha Port, Kachchh district, Gujarat.
The land is valued at approximately ₹250 crore and was used for illegal activities like prostitution and bootlegging.
The operation involved 40 officials, 500 police personnel, and heavy machinery including 20 JCBs and 20 Hitachi machines.
Around 4,000 to 5,000 people were living in the encroached area, which posed risks to coastal and national security.
This is part of a larger government effort to remove illegal occupations from strategic coastal areas in Gujarat.
