A mosque and 33 houses have been sent notices alleging illegal construction on municipal land in Waris Nagar area of Chandausi here, the authorities said on Thursday.

The action follows a complaint lodged on Samadhan Diwas, which prompted a site inspection by the DM and SP on Monday. “The Sambhal DM and the SP resolved the complaint of illegal occupation of the Nagar Palika Parishad’s Gata number 348 land, which they also inspected,” Chandausi Tehsildar Dhirendra Pratap Singh said.

Residents claimed they had purchased the land legally and posses the deeds. The maulvi of the mosque also indicated he will respond to the letter.

“The revenue team has collected all those deeds to see whether they are legal. Notices have been issued to 34 people in this case, which comprise one mosque and 33 houses,” Singh said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
