Yogi Adityanath Government Demolishes ‘Urdu Gate’ Illegally Built By SP Leader Azam Khan In Rampur

The Rampur district administration in Uttar Pradesh demolished an ‘Urdu Gate’ which was built by Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, Navbharat Times has reported.

This gate which acted as an entrance to the Mohammad Ali Jauhar University founded by Azam Khan, was levelled using a bulldozer on Wednesday (6 March).

It has been alleged that, while in power, Azam Khan had illegally grabbed government land to build the said gate. The land earlier was part of a public road.

The District Administrator Anjnaya Kumar Singh was quoted as saying that no rules were followed during the construction of the gate and neither was any permission taken from the administration.

The report claims that earlier a PWD road used to connect Rampur to Uttarakhand which was heavily used by motorists. After the gate was constructed for the University, it was diverted which causes inconvenience for commuters. The diversion runs through a heavily populated area which results in frequent traffic jams.
