Gujarat government's big bulldozer operation is going on in Somnath. Before this, survey was going on here for months. After completion of the survey work, encroachment on the government land behind Somnath temple is being removed. Many new works have been done here in the last two years and after this action the construction work of Somnath Temple Corridor is expected to gain further momentum. Late night the action to remove encroachment was started. However, as soon as the action was taken, a crowd of local people gathered there and started creating ruckus. People also tried to stop the proceedings, but the police somehow removed the people and the proceedings started again.

The work of demolishing illegal construction is being done under the supervision of police. Officials say that this process will continue for some time.
