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.
