Demolition notices issued to six more mosques in Deoband
Saharanpur: The administration in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has issued 15-day demolition notices to six more mosques in Deoband over alleged encroachment, sparking concern among local residents.
According to Kashmir Media Service, officials said a survey identified 11 religious structures, including mosques, madrasas and mazars, allegedly built on government land.
Notices have so far been issued in six cases, while five others are under consideration. The administration has directed removal of the structures within 15 days, failing which it may take possession of the land.
Muslim residents said the structures have served communities for decades and appealed for a solution that protects both the law and religious sentiments.
