Illegal madrasa in Kanawani colony sealed: Ghaziabad administration

Ghaziabad Authorities Seal Unregistered Madrasa in Kanawani Colony

Illegal madrasa in Kanawani colony sealed - The Ghaziabad district administration recently closed down an unlicensed madrasa located in Indirapuram’s Kanawani colony. This move was part of a broader effort to target unrecognized religious and educational establishments, as disclosed by officials on Saturday.

Inspection Reveals Multiple Violations

Under directives from District Minority Welfare Officer Kailash Chandra Tiwari, the madrasa was found unregistered with the minority welfare department and lacking a valid certificate. A joint team from the Waqf department, municipal authority, and revenue department further identified deficiencies, including the absence of safety clearances from fire and electrical departments.

"The institution failed to meet essential safety standards," stated an official, highlighting the poor sanitation conditions on-site.

Hostel Concerns and Legal Deadlines

Authorities also raised alarms about the madrasa’s hostel operations, which reportedly violated norms due to insufficient facilities for students. The primary building has been sealed, with the management given a week to submit required documents and justify its existence to the authorities.

"If the response is unsatisfactory, further legal measures will be enforced," added officials, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

Police Intervene in Safety Measures

Deputy Commissioner of Police Dhaval Jaiswal confirmed that the madrasa operated without proper permissions and safety clearances. He noted police are reviewing the case and may file an FIR if evidence supports it.

"Some children have been evacuated to secure locations, while others were sent home," said police, underscoring the immediate risk to residents.

Crackdown Intensifies After Tragic Incident

The enforcement campaign has gained momentum following the death of 17-year-old Surya Chauhan, who was allegedly stabbed by his friend Asad during a dispute on May 28. Surya later died at a Noida hospital after sustaining critical injuries.

Earlier this week, two madrasas in Khoda area were sealed, and an illegal one in Masuri was demolished on June 3. These actions reflect the administration’s intensified focus on addressing unregulated educational setups across the region.
