In Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, two mosques and a madrassa were removed from government land. In one instance, mosque committee members demolished their structures before a notice period expired, and the land was leased to 20 economically weaker section families. In another case, the administration demolished an illegal mosque after notices to the management committee were not fully complied with. Officials stated the self-demolition was a positive step, with police deployed during debris removal.
