Protests Erupt in Delhi's Mangolpuri Over Anti-Encroachment Demolition at Mosque | News9

Protests broke out in Mangolpuri, Northwest Delhi, following the demolition of a mosque built on government land by municipal authorities. The demolition, which occurred without prior notice, sparked outrage among local residents and religious groups. Police were deployed to manage the situation as tensions escalated, with protesters alleging high-handedness and demanding accountability from authorities.

The mosque, a longstanding structure in the area, became a focal point of contention between civic authorities and the community. Demonstrators gathered in large numbers, expressing solidarity with the mosque and criticizing the abrupt demolition as insensitive and arbitrary.

The incident highlights ongoing debates over land use, religious freedom, and procedural fairness in urban development initiatives across Delhi. Authorities have temporarily halted further demolitions amid the public outcry, pending resolution of legal and procedural issues surrounding the mosque's construction and demolition.
