Ziro, Jan 29:
The Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Lower Subansiri District, has ordered the removal of unauthorized structures of a Masjid constructed at Pare Ami, Hapoli, citing violation of prescribed rules and lack of prior permission from the competent authority.
According to the official order issued by the Deputy Commissioner on January 29, 2026, the structure was raised without valid approval. The matter came to light following a complaint lodged by the Arunachal ST Bachao Andolan Committee, Lower Subansiri District Unit. Subsequent inquiry and site inspection conducted by the Town Magistrate confirmed that the construction was illegal.
The order further states that the land on which the Masjid was built had been donated by former minister Padi Richo. However, the Madina Masjid Committee of Hapoli has already returned the said land to the donor on January 21, 2026.
In view of these developments, the Deputy Commissioner has directed the landowner to remove the unauthorized portions of the structure, specifically the domes and minarets, at his own cost within seven days with effect from January 30, 2026. The remaining building may be used for purposes other than religious activities.
