A pre-dawn demolition drive by Delhi's Municipal Corporation on January 7, 2026, near the historic Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque in Turkman Gate sparked clashes, with stone pelters injuring five officers. Police used minimal force including tear gas to restore order, while officials confirmed the mosque remained untouched amid a court-ordered clearance of encroachments.
The construction progress of the State Mosque in Indonesia's new capital, IKN, has reached 98.4 percent, according to IKN Authority Head Basuki Hadimuljono. The mosque is projected to be ready for worship activities during this year's Ramadan. The Minister of Religious Affairs hopes the 2026 Eid al-Fitr prayer can be held there.
