Access around Ujjain’s Shahi Masjid was restricted on September 29 while removal of part of the mosque continued. Free Press Journal reported that barricades affected businesses and access to nearby religious places. Its evening account said the public and journalists were kept away from the immediate site by afternoon.
An ANI report published by Asianet Newsable that morning described a peaceful scene under heavy security, with scaffolding material brought to the mosque. These were developments a day after the September 28 confrontation involving stone-throwing, police tear gas and baton use.
District Collector Roshan Kumar Singh said calm prevailed and the mosque committee was removing the agreed portion, according to Free Press Journal’s September 29 report. Officials and the city qazi appealed against rumours.
The reporting establishes restrictions and continued partial removal, not demolition of the entire mosque. A formal curfew order was not established in the reviewed material. The full duration of the restrictions and their subsequent relaxation also remain unconfirmed.
