5 madrassas sealed in Uttarakhand ‘despite being granted recognition’
Thursday, 8 May 2025 () In Uttarakhand, five madrassas, including three in Dehradun, were sealed by local authorities despite having official recognition from the state madrassa board. Seminary managers attribute this to delayed delivery of recognition letters amidst an ongoing crackdown on "illegal" madrassas. The madrassa board has suspended the sealing work and initiated a probe, promising to allow operations upon document verification.
