Days after communal violence rocked Khambhat town of Gujarat's Anand district, the administration on Friday brought in bulldozers to remove illegal encroachments along a road in Shakarpura area of the town where a Ram Navami procession came under attack on April 10.

Apart from the illegal encroachments, including wooden cabins and some concrete structures, the administration was also clearing bushes from the land in Shakarpura, as miscreants had used these to hide after throwing stones at the procession, Anand District Collector MY Daxini said.
