Dahod: The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday rejected a plea for an immediate hearing on the demolition of a century-old mosque in the Wanzawad area of the city.

Surrounding shops and buildings have already been demolished, and on Monday, a six-foot section of the Nagina Masjid was also demolished. The proposed date for the final demolition of the mosque is May 19. DeshGujarat
