Security Tightens Amid Mosque Demolition in Delhi

Delhi Police have increased security in Mangolpuri, outer Delhi, as the demolition of an unauthorized part of a mosque continues. Following a directive from the Delhi High Court, the area is heavily fortified with security personnel and additional paramilitary forces to ensure law and order.

The Delhi Police intensified security measures in the Mangolpuri locality of outer Delhi amid the ongoing demolition of an illegal part of a mosque, confirmed officials on Wednesday.

An official mentioned that police teams are strategically placed across the locality, effectively transforming it into a virtual stronghold to ensure law and order around the Y Block area.

Additional paramilitary forces have also been deployed as a preventive step to avert any potential disruptions, the official added. The demolition process, instigated by a Delhi High Court ruling, commenced on June 22, focusing solely on unauthorized constructions.
