The disputed site at Ramsanehighat came under discussion after the administration demolished the disputed site on May 17 and also removed its debris. Notices were also sent to people living at the disputed religious site built in front of the government residence of SDM Divyanshu Patel of Ramsanehighat.

The administration, meanwhile, banned entry to the disputed area. In this case, the police registered cases against 39 nominees and 150 unknowns and sent several people to jail.
