According to Mumbai Police, a campaign is underway to remove illegal structures built on railway land in the Garibnagar area, following the orders of the Bombay High Court. During this, some anti-social elements tried to obstruct the action and pelted stones at the demolition team.

Garibnagar is a locality in Ahmedabad, India, historically developed as a settlement for marginalized communities during the colonial era. It was established in the early 20th century as part of efforts to provide housing for the urban poor, reflecting the social and economic challenges of the time. Today, it remains a densely populated neighborhood, known for its vibrant community life and ongoing struggles with infrastructure and development.
