Uttarakhand Mosque Sealing Row: Residents Allege MDDA Action Beyond Court Order

Thano residents claim MDDA sealed entire Jama Masjid exceeding court orders, affecting local Muslim community worship rights. Community members allege Hindu organizations pressured authorities despite valid mosque documents existing since 1978. Bhupesh Joshi reportedly threatened forced evacuation by June 1. Police stood by during the confrontation. The mosque registration dates to 2017, though structure has existed decades. Administration has not publicly responded to allegations. More legal action expected. This is developing.
