The Supreme Court criticised Uttar Pradesh authorities for failing to act on illegal constructions, calling the case a national “eye-opener.” It ordered strict action, including demolition of unauthorised setbacks, warning officials against ignoring the rule of law.
In a first action under the Waqf Act, an illegally constructed madrasa on government land was demolished in Madhya Pradesh’s Panna district. Despite longstanding local complaints, authorities acted only recently to remove the structure.
