The Madhya Pradesh High Court has dismissed petitions opposing the removal of a century‑old royal mosque, clearing all legal hurdles. The state administration now plans to widen congested roads such as Gopal Temple Road under the master plan, aiming to finish the work before the Singhst 2028 fair.
The High Court’s decision removes the last legal barriers to the demolition of the 100‑year‑old royal mosque situated in Ujjain. All petitions challenging the move have been rejected, paving the way for administrative action.
Authorities say the removal is part of a broader master plan to decongest the city’s narrow and busy streets. Gopal Temple Road, which experiences heavy traffic, is slated for widening as a priority project.
The administration aims to complete the road‑expansion work before the upcoming Singhst 2028 fair, a major religious gathering that draws large crowds to Ujjain each year.
