Tension In Thergaon As PCMC Demolishes Illegal Structure

A senior PCMC official clarified that no action was taken against the mosque or madrasa itself, as some leaders had alleged. “The demolished structure was a hall recently built by the trustee of the educational institute. Despite multiple notices to stop the illegal construction, no action was taken, leading to the demolition,” the official stated.

The trustee of the madrasa claimed the land was owned by them and had been in use since 2002. He further stated that after receiving notices, they requested ways to legalize the structure but received no response from PCMC before the sudden demolition.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Sandip Doifode confirmed that the situation remained under control, with no law-and-order issues reported.
