The Gujarat high court has issued notice to the state govt and the Centre regarding a petition filed by Jain religious organizations, which claims the first right to worship on the fifth peak of the Girnar hills at the foot imprints of the 22nd Tirthankara, Lord Neminatha.
The notice states that the fort is a “state-protected monument” and the removal of the alleged unauthorised structures is required following a notification of the state sports, youth, and cultural activities department for the proposed development of the area.
