Demolition work at the 17th-century Mubarak Manzil, a significant Mughal heritage site, has been halted on government orders.
Local officials commenced a detailed investigation into the land records after allegations of illegal demolition by a builder with political connections.
Agra District Magistrate, Aravind Mallappa Bangari, confirmed that a spot inspection was conducted and that the situation would be closely monitored.
Residents claim the builder had already caused substantial damage, with reports indicating up to 70% of the structure destroyed before the halt.
In light of the situation, local community members are planning to file a PIL in the high court to seek justice for the historical site.
