Gujarat High Court Clears Demolition of 30 Illegal Structures at Asaram's Motera Ashram

• The Gujarat High Court has allowed the state government to reclaim 45,000 square meters of land associated with Asaram's ashram in Motera, Ahmedabad.
• Approximately 32 illegal units, used for commercial activities and unauthorized construction, were identified within the ashram premises.
• The ashram trust's application for an 'impact fee' to legalize these constructions was rejected, leading the matter to court.
• The reclaimed land is earmarked for the expansion of the Sardar Patel Sports Enclave and the construction of a state-of-the-art sports complex and Olympic Village.
• This development is crucial for Ahmedabad's bid to host the Commonwealth Games 2030, aiming to boost infrastructure and tourism.
