The state government has received the madrasa survey reports from 60 of the 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh, minority welfare minister Dharampal Singh said here on Wednesday.
The minister was reviewing the progress of the survey work of unaffiliated madrasas in the state. The government has surveyed 8496 madrasas so far.
“We will have the reports of the remaining 15 districts soon and within the stipulated deadline of November 15. After, this we will take our decisions,” the minister said.
