On Sunday (June 14), the Ghaziabad administration intensified its crackdown on illegal encroachments by demolishing an illegally constructed mazar in the Tronica City police station area of Loni.
Authorities said the structure stood on government land owned by UPSIDA and violated land-use regulations.
Bulldozer Action Under Heavy Security
Officials carried out the demolition in Sector C-1 amid tight security arrangements. The administration sealed the area before the operation and deployed more than 400 police personnel to prevent any disturbance.
Senior administrative and police officers remained present throughout the exercise. The operation concluded without any reported resistance or law-and-order issues.
Government Land Freed From Encroachment
According to officials, the mazar had been constructed illegally on government property. The administration removed the structure as part of an ongoing campaign against unauthorised occupations of public land.
Authorities said that they would continue identifying and clearing illegal constructions across the district.
Crackdown Intensifies After Surya Chauhan Murder Case
The latest action comes as the district administration remains in an aggressive enforcement mode following the Surya Chauhan murder case in Khoda.
Along with verification drives against criminal elements, officials have launched a broader campaign targeting illegal properties and unauthorised structures.
In recent weeks, authorities sealed five illegal madrasas, demolished an illegal madrasa in Dasna, and removed 14 illegally built shops near a mosque in Modinagar.
