Sambhal Demolishes Illegal House Portions on Pond Land After Mosque Removal

  • Sambhal administration demolished illegal portions of three houses built on pond land in Raya Buzurg village.
  • This action follows the removal of an unauthorized mosque from the same site on January 4, with heavy police deployment.
  • Occupants Asrar, Abrar, and Babu had encroached on Gata number 682, a pond property, previously building a mosque and banquet hall.
  • UP Minister Jaiveer Singh confirmed all actions were lawful, with notices issued and procedures followed strictly.
  • The drive is part of a broader effort to reclaim government land, including voluntary demolition of Madina Masjid and other structures, with more removals planned.

Why It Matters: Sambhal administration continues its drive against illegal encroachments, reclaiming government land through lawful demolitions.
