• Operation Clean Sweep verifies tenants, businesses, and properties.

The Ghaziabad administration is set to carry out bulldozer action against illegal constructions in Khoda market on Wednesday as part of an ongoing anti- encroachment drive launched in the area following the murder of 17-year-old Surya Chauhan.

According to officials, shops that have allegedly encroached upon public land and market spaces will face action during the operation. The move comes as authorities continue a broader verification and enforcement campaign across the locality.

Crackdown Intensifies In Khoda

The action is part of the district administration’s three-day “Operation Clean Sweep,” under which police and civic authorities have been conducting verification of tenants, commercial establishments, unauthorised properties and suspected criminal elements.

A tense calm continued in the area, with security personnel deployed at sensitive locations and several shops remaining closed.

Three Unrecognised Madrasas Sealed

On Tuesday, authorities sealed three madrasas operating in Khoda after they were allegedly found functioning without recognition from the Madrasa Board or the Minority Welfare Department.

District Magistrate Ravindra Kumar Mandar said joint teams of the police and Minority Welfare Department carried out the action. Officials have also initiated efforts to collect details of students enrolled in the institutions and arrange their admission to recognised schools.

Murder Case Triggered Administrative Action

The intensified administrative drive follows the killing of Class 11 student Surya Chauhan, who was stabbed on May 28 and later died during treatment at a hospital in Noida.

Police have alleged that the attack stemmed from a dispute involving motorcycle riding and named Asad, his father Nawab, and several associates in the case. Surya’s family, however, has claimed that the killing was linked to a separate disagreement.

Asad, who carried a reward of Rs 50,000, was killed in a police encounter on Sunday. Several other accused have been arrested, while one suspect remains absconding.
