Construction Halted at Controversial Mosque in Lakhimpur Kheri
In Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, the local government stopped people from building a wall near a mosque.
They said it was illegal.
Some people, including leaders from a political party, disagreed with the building.
The mosque's leader said they were just trying to keep the area clean and private.
The government is now checking what happened.
This is not the first time this mosque has been in trouble for building things without permission.
Construction work at Kachari Mosque in Lakhimpur Kheri was halted by the district administration due to complaints of illegal activity.
BJP leaders and Hindu organizations opposed the construction, leading to a tense situation.
The mosque is located near the Collectorate in the Lakhimpur Sadar Kotwali area.
A case was previously registered against the mosque for illegal construction six months ago.
The mosque's muezzin stated the construction was to prevent open urination and maintain privacy.
