New Delhi – There is a noticeable increase in the madarasas and mosques near the borders of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and the Bihar States sharing the Nepal border. The population of Muslims has also increased in these areas; therefore, the secret agencies have been alerted. India always had cordial relations with Nepal, but it is a matter of concern that in Indian Districts near the Nepal border, there is a considerable increase in the number of madarasas. The border covering 550 km along with the seven Indian Districts is becoming imbalanced from the viewpoint of the population. Discussions were held between the officers of both countries; however, no action has yet been taken.

1. In Siddharthnagar District of UP, there were 147 madarasas in the year 2000 and now there are 597 madarasas, out of which 145 are unauthorised.

2. In Maharajganj District, there are 252 authorised madarasas, but along its 84 km border with Nepal, the number of madarasas has increased one and half times.

3. There are many madarasas in Nepal’s Rupandehi and Nawalparasi Districts along the Indian border.
