Rampur District Issues Demolition Notice for Jauhar University Buildings, Sparks Political Row

District authorities in Rampur served a notice to Jauhar University demanding the removal of 38 structures that were constructed without sanctioned building plans. The notice, released after a field inspection, cited violations of the state building code and warned of bulldozer action if the university fails to comply. The move ignited a fierce debate in the state legislature, with opposition parties labeling it a politically motivated attempt to target a minority‑run institution. Pro‑BJP legislators defended the decision as a routine enforcement of law and order, arguing that no institution should be exempt from regulatory compliance.
