In a major administrative action, the West Bengal government has directed the immediate closure of 252 madrassas operating within the state. The decision follows regulatory evaluations conducted by state authorities into the operations of these institutions.
Furthermore, official show-cause notices have been served to 100 other madrassas. These institutions are required to submit explanations detailing their adherence to established operational guidelines and state norms.
State officials are currently overseeing the execution of the shutdown orders while waiting for replies from the institutions served with notices before determining subsequent legal and administrative steps.
