Now the Municipal Corporation Commissioner’s decision regarding Sanjauli Masjid will remain intact. Latif said that the work of removing the roof and a temple above the mosque has been done. Also, due to non-availability of labour, the work of removing the illegal part of the mosque will not be done till March.
