In Gujarat's Bharuch district, the local administration carried out a demolition operation on an unauthorized dargah known as Balapeer, which had been constructed on government-owned grazing land in the village of Govali. This operation, part of a wider crackdown on illegal land encroachments, resulted in the demolition of not only the dargah but also two adjoining tombs and a room. The action followed various complaints from the Hindu-dominated local community, which had described the construction as illegal and had formally requested the removal of the structures.

Prior to the demolition, the village panchayat of Govali had issued multiple notices demanding the removal of the illegal construction. Despite these warnings, no action was taken until the district administration, supported by heavy police presence, decided to proceed with the demolition. During the operation, local police and administrative teams were on-site to ensure safety and order, as many villagers gathered around to witness the event.

The demolitions have sparked discussions within the community regarding land use and religious structures, highlighting tensions about property rights in areas with mixed populations. This action reflects ongoing efforts by local authorities in India to address illegal encroachments, especially on lands that are designated for public use, illustrating the complexities of managing community dynamics in such contexts.
