Junagadh: The locals have raised complaints that around one thousand fishermen have entered the coastal village of Mul Dwarka with their 200 boats.

The state government recently conducted demolition drives against illegal constructions in the coastal areas of Gujarat. Around 100 to 200 boats and 1000 people have illegally entered the coastal area of Mul Dwarka within the last 4 days, as alleged by the sarpanch Kishorbhai Sikotariya. In response to the complaints, Kodinar police have tried to convince the outsiders to leave the place and shift elsewhere.

The locals alleged that the migrants fight with them when they try to convince them. The local leaders said that these new people are from Naudra, Miyana, Bet Dwarka, and Harshad, whose illegal constructions were demolished by the administration in a recent drive. They arrived in Mul Dwarka with their boats after the demolition and they shifted their luggage by truck in the night, as alleged by locals.

A local named Patel Devubhai Dalki from Kharva community said that there is a lack of space to anchor the boats of the locals after the intruders entered there. One of the intruders said that they came from Harshad coast after the demolition. DeshGujarat
