In a significant decision, the Shimla Municipal Commissioner’s Court has ordered the demolition of three floors of the Sanjauli Mosque within two months ¹. This directive was issued to the Waqf Board and the Mosque Committee, responsible for the mosque’s management.

The reason behind this order is not explicitly stated, but it’s likely related to unauthorized construction or violations of building regulations. The court’s decision underscores the importance of adherence to local laws and regulations.

The demolition order may spark concerns among the local Muslim community, which considers the mosque a significant place of worship. The impact of this decision on the community and potential next steps for the Waqf Board and Mosque Committee remain to be seen.

The Shimla Municipal Corporation will likely provide guidance on the demolition process and ensure compliance with the court’s order. The development highlights the ongoing efforts to enforce building regulations and maintain urban order in Shimla.

The demolition timeline of two months indicates a swift resolution, and stakeholders are expected to cooperate with the authorities to ensure a smooth process.
