Security Tightened in Lucknow's Malihabad Amid Dispute Over Fort Site Ahead of BakridPreviousNext

Security has been increased in Lucknow's Malihabad ahead of Bakrid following a dispute over a 25-30 bigha site known locally as Malihabad Fort. Local residents, mainly from the Pasi community, claim the site is linked to Maharaja Kansa Pasi and should be treated as a temple complex, opposing its identification as a mosque or mausoleum. Tensions escalated after outsiders allegedly began offering namaz there. Police and PAC personnel have been deployed to maintain order amid objections from the Pasi community and Hindu Mahasabha members.
