Jaipur: The demolition of Noorani Mosque in Rajasthan\u2019s Jaipur has triggered strong reactions from Muslim organisations and community leaders.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Muslim organisations and community leaders said the authorities are acting in haste despite the matter being under legal consideration.<\/p>\n

The controversy erupted after the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) carried out the demolition work along the Malviya Nagar-Jagatpura 80-foot road corridor, removing several structures that officials said were obstructing the planned expansion of the road.<\/p>\n

Among the structures removed was Noorani Mosque, that local Muslims say had served the community for years.<\/p>\n

While authorities have defended the move as part of an infrastructure project, Muslim organisations and members of the mosque committee have strongly objected to the demolition.<\/p>\n

Community representatives said that the mosque possessed valid documents and that the dispute relating to the property was pending before the Waqf Tribunal.<\/p>\n

According to members of the mosque committee, a hearing in the matter was scheduled soon. They argue that the demolition should not have been carried out before the legal process was completed.<\/p>\n

A representative of the mosque committee described the action as unjust and said the community was deeply disappointed by the manner in which the demolition was conducted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe matter was before the Waqf Tribunal and a hearing was due shortly. We believe the authorities should have waited for the legal process to conclude before taking such a serious step,\u201d a committee member said.<\/p>\n

The demolition has led to growing anger among several Muslim organisations in Jaipur, which have announced plans for protests and public demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Community leaders warned that if their concerns are not addressed, the protest campaign could expand into a larger public movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
