Late-Night Demolition Drive Targets Encroachments Including Madina Mosque in Delhi
In Delhi's Shalimar Bagh, civic authorities conducted a late-night demolition drive targeting illegal encroachments, including part of the Madina Mosque, to facilitate a road-widening project on Max Hospital Road. The mosque's imam had received multiple eviction notices, and the action followed a High Court order. The demolition sparked protests and political reactions, with AIMIM Delhi president Shoaib Jamai calling the midnight operation unconstitutional. Authorities emphasized the drive was part of ongoing efforts to remove encroachments and improve infrastructure.
