MEERUT, Sept. 6 -- A mosque inside the Saharanpur collectorate complex was demolished by the district administration early Saturday morning, days after a district judge's court upheld an earlier order declaring the structure illegal, officials said. The demolition was carried out amid tight security, with all five gates of the collectorate sealed and a heavy security contingent, including the Rapid Action Force (RAF), deployed to maintain law and order, they added. Saharanpur DIG Abhishek Singh said the city magistrate's court had found that the structure at the Saharanpur collectorate was illegally constructed on government land. "The Mosque Committee's appeal was subsequently dismissed, paving the way for the demolition. Authorities had taken all preventive measures to maintain law and order and were strictly following established legal procedures," the DIG said. JCB machines, dumpers and other demolition equipment were brought inside the collectorate premises during the night. Senior police and administrative officials remained at the site as the administration began removing the mosque structure early Saturday morning. The entire collectorate complex was placed under heightened security before the operation. No outsiders were allowed inside, while police deployment was increased in surrounding areas and additional personnel were brought in from other districts, officials said. P5...
