Massive protests have erupted in various parts of India, focusing on alleged illegal constructions and communal tensions involving mosques. In Himachal Pradesh's Mandi city, protests followed the demolition of an unauthorized portion of a mosque, leading to heavy security deployment. In Shimla, clashes between protesters and police resulted in injuries and detentions amid demands for the demolition of a mosque in the Sanjauli area. Meanwhile, in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi city, right-wing groups and locals demanded the demolition of a legally registered mosque and a minority-dominated colony, causing fear among long-standing Muslim residents. These instances have led to heightened communal unrest and legal actions to maintain order.
