SHIMLA: The court of Municipal Commissioner of Shimla, Bhupinder Atri, heard all the parties involved in the controversial Sanjauli Masjid case, including the Muslim Community Welfare Board. The police is on high alert.
The case, which revolves around an allegedly illegal mosque structure on government land, has been a point of contention for over 13 years.
The Dev Bhoomi Sangharsh Samiti has been actively seeking the mosque’s demolition, claiming it was constructed illegally under the Shimla Municipal Corporation's watch.
Meanwhile, in response to security concerns, the Himachal Pradesh Police has provided 24x7 security around the mosque site in Sanjauli and deployed personnel to protect key figures associated with the case.
The Muslim community has offered to demolish the illegal portion of the mosque themselves, but the final decision rests with the Commissioner, whose verdict is expected later this evening.
The outcome of this highly sensitive case is anticipated, as it will likely impact ongoing religious and legal debates in the state.
The local administration is also on high alert to maintain order amid rising tensions .
Updates awaited...
