Protest over unauthorized mosque in Shimla leads to Himachal Pradesh Waqf Board asserting legal ownership in court.
In Shimla, India, a protest over an allegedly unauthorized mosque led the Himachal Pradesh Waqf Board to assert legal ownership before a municipal court, which postponed the hearing to October 5. The dispute centers on additional construction, not ownership, with the Waqf Board unable to provide evidence of land ownership against local claims that it belongs to the state government. Despite ongoing legal issues, prayers at the mosque will continue.
