The administration in Ghaziabad has intensified action against madrassas following the murder of a youth named Surya on Eid al-Adha in Khoda. After the demolition of Madrasa Arabia Islam in Dasna and the sealing of at least two madrassas in Khoda, another madrasa in Kanavani village of Indirapuram has now been sealed by authorities.
Officials said the Minority Department sealed Madrasa Jamia Khulfa-e-Rashidin, located in the Kanavani area under Indirapuram police station limits, citing alleged violations related to registration and safety norms.
According to police, the madrasa was found to be operating without registration and allegedly failed to meet required safety standards. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Dhawal Jaiswal said the institution lacked necessary approvals and was therefore sealed.
“In the Kanavani area today, the Minority Department sealed Madrasa ‘Jamia Khulfa-e-Rashidin’. The madrasa was not following safety standards and was not registered, which led to the sealing action,” Jaiswal said.
Notice Issued, Children Shifted to Other Schools
The Minority Department has issued a notice to the madrasa management, asking it to submit relevant documents within a week. Officials said children studying at the institution have been shifted to other schools as a precautionary measure.
