Jamiat Urges UP to Reconsider Jauhar University Demolition

The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, a religious organization, is asking the Uttar Pradesh government to think again about tearing down 38 buildings at Mohammad Ali Jauhar University in Rampur.

The university's leader, Maulana Mahmood Madani, says this would hurt many students' education and is not the only legal solution.

He mentioned that courts have supported fixing problems with buildings instead of demolishing them in other cases.

The Rampur Development Authority says the buildings were built without permission and must be torn down.

The university disagrees, saying the area was not under the authority's control when the buildings were built.
