The Junagadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry has written a letter to Chief Minister Narendra Modi and sought clarification over various issues in the wake of the confusion following the declaration of the Girnar forest as a sanctuary.

Bhurabahi Desai, the Secretary of the chamber has sought clarification whether the Girnar region should be considered as a pilgrimage centre or a sanctuary. Girnar is controlled by two different authorities, the forest department and the state yatradham pilgrimage development board, he said.

Desai has sought clarification on issues like whether night halt in Girnar will henceforth be stopped, as also the fate of the Girnar rope-way project and the capable authority for giving construction permit in the revenue survey area and other areas falling at the foot of the Girnar mountains.
