Controversy Surrounding the Mosque in Uttarkashi

The legality of a decades-old mosque in Uttarkashi has sparked significant tension and protests, with some Hindu groups demanding its demolition. This situation escalated after a member of a Hindu organization sought information via an RTI, leading to claims that the mosque lacks official documentation. Following protests and confrontations, local authorities confirmed the mosque's legal status, stating it is built on land registered to the Muslim community. Despite these affirmations, tensions remain high as Hindu organizations continue to dispute the mosque's legality and threaten further actions.
