Opinion | Yogi Adityanath has taken up a big task of removing illegally built religious shrines in UP

The UP government led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has embarked upon a gigantic task of demolishing more than 40,000 religious shrines like temples, mosques and mazaars (tombs) built illegally on government land. This follows an order from the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court dated June 3, 2016, in which the state government was asked to remove or shift these illegal shrines that were built by encroaching on public property after January 1, 2011.
