Sambhal mosque demolished due to unauthorized construction
In Sambhal's Chandausi town, officials tore down the Raza-e-Mustafa Masjid and 34 structures after finding they were built without permission on approximately six bighas of municipal land in Waris Nagar, Chandausi.
Residents were given a deadline to clear out, and demolition happened on June 20 after prior notices.
TL;DR
Demolition under tight police watch
The whole process took place under tight police watch, led by SDM Vinay Kumar Mishra and CO Anuj Chaudhary.
The mosque committee had started taking down parts of the mosque themselves before asking for a short pause, which officials allowed.
Demolition later continued with their cooperation—officials made sure nearby buildings weren't harmed, and everything stayed peaceful throughout.
