On January 19, 2024, the Bahraich district administration in Uttar Pradesh demolished 10 unauthorized mazaars located on government land near Maharaja Suheldev Medical College. The structures, deemed illegal since 2002 following multiple court rulings, were said to hinder students due to heavy visitor traffic. Despite protests from local residents, authorities proceeded with the demolition after the college administration's renewed complaint and legal confirmations of the mazaars' unauthorized status.
