Sambhal district in India bans outsiders to prevent unrest after protests over a mosque survey.

The Sambhal district in India has banned outsiders from entering until December 10 to maintain peace following violent protests over a court-ordered survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, which some claim was once a Hindu temple. A Samajwadi Party delegation, planning to investigate the violence that left four dead, was stopped from entering. The party claims the ban is to hide government mistakes, while authorities aim to prevent further unrest.
