Sambhal (UP), Feb 2 (PTI) An illegal mausoleum built on a government pond in Chandausi tehsil of Sambhal district was removed by district administration and the government pond was freed from encroachment on Sunday, officials said.
Tehsildar of Chandausi Dhirendra Singh said a complaint was made to the district magistrate that a 'mazar' (mausoleum) is encroaching on a government pond at the border of Mai and Chandausi villages.
