Bulldozer Action on Mosque in Bareilly... Action Ordered by Court

In Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, a bulldozer action was carried out on a mosque deemed illegal by authorities, following a court order.

In Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, authorities conducted a demolition operation against a mosque deemed to be constructed illegally on government land. This action occurred in the Pipariya village of the Bhojipura locality as part of ongoing efforts by the administration to tackle illegal constructions. Officials have stated that the mosque was constructed without permission on land designated for village society, prompting the court's involvement that ultimately led to the demolition order.

The district administration arrived at the site with a significant police presence and bulldozers to ensure the operation proceeded without incident. The mosque was constructed over an area of approximately 300 square yards and had been embroiled in a legal dispute for an extended period, which culminated in court hearings. Upon determining that the construction was indeed illegal, the administration moved forward with the demolition under court directives.

The case surrounding the mosque had previously been addressed in the Tehsildar court, where orders against the individuals supporting the mosque's claims were issued. This ruling confirmed that the mosque was built illegally, occupying government land without proper authorization. The local authorities have described this demolition as a step towards enforcing legal land use and maintaining order in the community.
