Modinagar Administration Demolishes 14 Illegal Shops Near Jama Masjid Following Court Order
On June 8, the Modinagar administration demolished 14 shops and a gate near Jama Masjid in Begumabad village, Ghaziabad, following a court order declaring the land as municipal property and the structures illegal. The eviction order, initially issued in 2023 and upheld after a higher court lifted a stay in April 2025, included a penalty of Rs 2.22 crore on the mosque committee. Notices were given to occupants before the demolition, which was supervised by local authorities with police support.
