Ghaziabad: A 15-year-old roadside mazar was demolished with bulldozers in Uttar Pradesh\u2019s Ghaziabad district as part of a campaign against Muslim sites, triggering concern among local Muslims who complain that Muslim religious sites are being selectively targeted.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the demolition was carried out in Loni area on the busy Loni-Bhopura Road, opposite the Loni Block office. District officials said the structure was on government land and was causing traffic congestion.<\/p>\n

However, local Muslims expressed surprise over the demolition, questioning why structures of religious significance to the community were being removed while similar encroachments elsewhere were ignored.<\/p>\n

Given the sensitive nature of the demolition, police continued to monitor the area to prevent clashes. Muslim organisations have repeatedly complained that anti-encroachment drives in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh disproportionately target Muslim religious sites, including mosques, mazars and graveyards, while leaving other illegal structures untouched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
