Jalaluddin on the valuable government land on the Delhi Highway Barrage Road by

using a bulldozer. It is known that social worker Rampal Singh had complained

through the IGRS portal about the illegal construction of the shrine on the

highway in Khata number 651 and 668 of village Jhagdi Bangar and demanded

action, the investigation of which was handed over to the tehsil administration

by the District Magistrate. After investigation in this case, the tehsil

administration took action under the leadership of SDM Ritu Rani and Tehsildar

Ashish Saxena with a heavy police force and demolished the illegal construction.

records of village Jhakri Bangar in which the mausoleum was situated. The said

on the said mausoleum for illegal construction and in 2023, the district

administration had also ordered demolition of the construction but this matter

was lying buried in the files, in which action has been taken now. SDM Sadar

Ritu Rani has warned that no illegal construction will be tolerated on

government land.
