TINSUKIA (ASSAM): (Aug 10) A madrassa in Assam’s Tinsukia district was allegedly demolished on Sunday by locals, who claimed that the institution did not obtain any government approval, officials said.
The incident took place at Lohari Kachari village, where the local mosque committee, under pressure from residents of the area, demolished the madrassa, a district official said.
“The madrassa was allegedly run by one Noor Islam. The mosque committee brought one bulldozer and demolished it. The committee also demolished the boundary wall of a mosque, near the madrassa, as the (boundary) wall was built on a drain,” he added.
