The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) identified illegal religious structures across the seven zones of the city and issued a notice to remove a total of 1,386 such structures.

The order comes after the direction of the Supreme Court and Gujarat High Court dated Dec 7, 2009 and Apr 19, 2024, respectively.

Notices were issued to remove the unauthorised religious structures from Bhathiji Maharaj Temple on Viratnagar Road, Shani Dev and Patlia Hanumanji Temple in India Colony, Hanumanji Temple on Bombay Conductor Road, Khodiyar Temple in Ramol, and Sai Baba Temple in Sardar Nagar ward.

The structures reportedly encroached and blocked the public roads, prompting the corporation to take action against them.
