Over 350 illegal religious structures removed along Nepal border

Lucknow, May 11 (UNI) More than 350 unauthorised religious sites, including madrasas, mosques, mazars and Eidgahs on the Indo-Nepal border, have been identified and subjected to sealing or demolition in recent days, official sources said here on Sunday.
Sources said that acting on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directive that no religious encroachment will be tolerated, the administrations in districts such as Pilibhit, Shravasti, Balrampur, Bahraich, Siddharth Nagar and Maharajganj have launched a sweeping campaign. "Authorities have systematically identified illegal structures and taken strict action, continuing operations even on Sunday," they said.
Sources said that the CM has made it clear that encroachment in the name of any religion will not be allowed, and all violators, especially those running unrecognised religious institutions, will face legal consequences.
