Uttar Pradesh: 38 Buildings at Azam Khan's Jauhar University to Be Demolished
Officials said only two campus buildings had approved plans, while the remaining 38 were found to lack valid sanction.
- On Wednesday, the Rampur Development Authority ordered the demolition of 38 buildings at Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, ruling they were constructed without required building plans.
- Issued under Section 27 of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act, the order followed a hearing that flagged unauthorized construction on the campus.
- Management argued that Singankhera village was outside RDA jurisdiction before September 27, 2024, but Rampur District Magistrate Ajay Kumar Dwivedi rejected these claims, stating approval was mandatory at construction time.
- Records showed the university obtained approval from the Rampur Zila Panchayat for two buildings but failed to secure sanctions for other structures, undermining its defense.
- Founded by Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan in 2006, Mohammad Ali Jauhar University has faced significant legal battles over land encroachment and lease violations since establishment.
