In response to recent protests over the alleged illegal construction of a mosque in Sanjauli, the Sanjauli Masjid Committee has pledged to address the issue by demolishing the disputed portion of the building. This decision aims to resolve the unrest and uphold communal harmony in the area.

Following the protests that erupted earlier this week, the Sanjauli Masjid Committee has formally requested the Municipal Corporation of Shimla to seal the section of the mosque that is under dispute. The Committee, which includes the mosque’s President and Maulvi, has emphasized their dedication to maintaining peace and harmony within the community.

**Shimla Municipal Commissioner Bhupender Kumar Attri** confirmed that a delegation from the mosque met with him to present their memorandum. “The delegation asked the Municipal Corporation to seal the part of the mosque in question. They also expressed a strong desire for continued peace and harmony, highlighting the existing brotherhood among different communities,” Attri reported.

If it is determined that a portion of the mosque is illegal, we are ready to remove it ourselves to maintain peace within the community.”

We are committed to ensuring that any illegal construction is dealt with properly, while maintaining an atmosphere of peace,” Singh stated.

Singh further noted that the issue of illegal construction has been pending for some time and assured that the government would act based on legal decisions. “We will follow the legal process and take appropriate action if the construction is found to be illegal. Our goal is to move forward with the law and ensure that peace prevails,” he added.

As the situation develops, the Sanjauli community is hopeful for a peaceful resolution. Both the government and the Sanjauli Masjid Committee are focused on preserving communal harmony and ensuring that all actions are carried out in accordance with legal standards.
