Supreme Court Halts Demolition of Border Structures for Two Weeks

Supreme Court Halts Demolition of Border Structures for Two Weeks

The Supreme Court of India has temporarily stopped the demolition of some buildings near the border with Pakistan for two weeks.

These buildings include mosques, shrines, and schools.

The court told the people who complained to go to a lower court instead.

The government says these demolitions are for security reasons.

Some political leaders say the government is unfairly targeting Muslim places of worship.

The court did not take a side and said the lower court should decide.

This issue has caused a lot of arguments between the government and opposition leaders.
