Sambhal Razes Illegal Marriage Hall as Mosque Given Four Days for Voluntary Dismantling

Officials cite a Tehsildar court order under Section 67 following a 30-day notice period.

Overview

  • The drive targeted structures on government-recorded pond and compost-pit land in Rae Buzurg village under Asmoli police limits.
  • The marriage hall and parts of an adjoining madrasa were removed after no appeal followed the Tehsildar’s September 2 demolition order.
  • Nearly 200 police and PAC personnel secured the operation, with drone surveillance and public announcements used to manage the area.
  • The pond parcel is listed as plot number 691 measuring about 2,310 sq m, with a separate compost-pit plot also identified by revenue officials.
  • The mosque committee was granted four days to clear the disputed structure and has begun dismantling, as political leaders criticized the action despite authorities asserting due process.
