The Jamnagar Municipal Corporation carried out the demolition of illegally constructed shops on an area of 1,500 square feet near the canal on Ranjitsagar Road. These shops were demolished with the cooperation of the Jamnagar District Police in the presence of Superintendent of Police Premsukh Delu.
