Ujjain: Faladia Masjid gets notice after Shahi Masjid over flyover
The Story in Brief
Ujjain Municipal Corporation has issued a notice to Faladia Masjid near Atlas Square, stating that 224 square metres of the mosque's ground floor obstructs the alignment of an elevated flyover being built for the Simhastha-2028 preparations. The notice, dated 23 October 2026, cites a Public Works Department letter of 14 October 2026 and summoned the mosque management for a hearing on 27 October at the corporation headquarters. A similar notice was earlier issued to the Shahi Masjid at Chhatri Chowk.
The mosque's treasurer, Mohammad Yahaya, said Faladia Masjid is about 100 years old and a landmark of the new road, and that all requested documents will be presented at the hearing. Local resident Mohammad Ejaz said the mosque premises also houses six shops, 60 to 70 years old, supporting several families. The corporation has warned that if the management fails to appear, a unilateral decision may be taken. Further action will be decided after the documents are examined.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both TV9 Hindi and Amar Ujala report the same facts: the corporation's 23 October notice, the 224 sq metre obstruction, the 27 October hearing date, and the mosque management's claim of the structure being 100 years old with six shops. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, with no discernible slant in either outlet. The story does not name any response from the corporation beyond the notice, nor any legal challenge from the management yet. The concrete next step is the hearing on 27 October and the subsequent document examination.
