Sambhal Demolishes Marriage Hall Built on Pond Land After 30-Day Notice Lapses

Officials say the move followed a tehsildar order after a 30-day window elapsed.

Overview

  • The district administration razed a large 'Barat Ghar' in Rae Buzurg village, deploying about 200 police and PAC personnel with drone monitoring.
  • Officials said the structure encroached on land recorded as a government pond, with adjacent plots also designated for a pond and a compost pit.
  • The district magistrate cited a Tehsildar Court order under Section 67 and noted that no appeal was filed within the 30-day period.
  • Police said the site had been operating as a madrasa and wedding hall across several acres without authorization.
  • A mosque built on compost-pit land in the same village was granted four days to remove disputed structures, and its committee began dismantling work as authorities described a continuing anti-encroachment drive that drew criticism from Samajwadi Party MP Ziaur Rahman Barq.
