On Thursday, the district administration demolished the boundary wall of a madrassa in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki that was built on government land, according to officials.
The madrassa, called Jamia Madintul Uloom, is located under the Safdarganj police station limits and its boundary wall was encroaching on the land of the local electricity department.
The Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Vijay Trivedi, said that the madrassa had received a notice earlier regarding the encroachment and the boundary wall was bulldozed on Wednesday (7 December).
The manager of the madrassa, Hafiz Ayas, is also the district president of the Samajwadi Party.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
