Uttarakhand Shuts 20 Unrecognised Madrasas Amid Education Regulation Enforcement
Uttarakhand authorities have shut down 20 unrecognised madrasas, sealing 17 and receiving written confirmations from three that they ceased operations. Recent actions targeted five madrasas in Dehradun and Haldwani for failing to meet recognition and educational standards. The state government, led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, emphasizes strict compliance with new minority education regulations following the abolition of the statutory Madrasa Board. Officials reaffirm no institution will operate without proper recognition.
