Centuries-Old Mosque Razed for Varanasi Railway Station Revamp

A 200-year-old mosque in Varanasi was demolished during a railway redevelopment drive for encroachment on railway land. Authorities removed Ajgaib Shaheed Mosque, a graveyard, and tomb structures to expand Kashi Railway Station. Officials claimed proper notices were issued and courts approved. The peaceful demolition involved heavy security, bulldozers, and excavators.
