Agra Authorities Demolish Mosque, Temple on Pond Land Following NGT OrdersPreviousNext

Authorities in Agra demolished a mosque, mazar, and temple built on approximately five hectares of pond land in the Jagdishpura area following orders from the National Green Tribunal (NGT). The demolition, conducted under heavy police and administrative presence, complied with court eviction orders and prior notices served to all concerned parties. The temple management removed idols before the action, and the operation aimed to clear alleged illegal encroachments on government-recorded water body land.
