This incident follows a series of volatile events in the region. On 8th February 2024, violent clashes erupted in Haldwani after a court-ordered demolition of an unauthorized madrasa in the Banbhoolpura area, predominantly inhabited by Muslims. Rioters engaged in stone-pelting, arson, and the deployment of petrol bombs, escalating tensions with law enforcement.
Illegal migration has long been a contentious issue in Uttarakhand, with over 900,000 illegal immigrants of Bangladeshi origin reportedly residing in the state. The encroachment of government land by non-native immigrants, who often construct mosques, minarets, and madrasas without authorization, has exacerbated tensions with the local populace.
These incidents echo past confrontations, such as the Supreme Court's intervention in December 2022 to halt the removal of illegal structures housing thousands of illegal immigrants from railway land in Haldwani station. As the community grapples with socio-religious tensions and concerns over illegal migration, authorities are tasked with maintaining peace and addressing underlying grievances to foster harmony in the region.
