Jamnagar:  District authorities demolished an illegal shrine located within the premises of Sajuba Girls High School on Ranjt Road on June 3.

The shrine, known as Syed Jinnat Bibi Ma Nagani, had been constructed illegally and had become a source of disturbance for the schoolgirls due to the burning of incense and frankincense. The principal of the school had lodged complaints about this issue with the Jamnagar administration, and the Hindu organization ‘Hindu Sena’ had also demanded the removal of the unauthorized religious structure.
