From 45 % to 15 % – A Seismic Demographic Shift
There are historical references confirming that Hindus constituted around 45 % of Sambhal’s population at the time of India’s independence.

The reasons mentioned are communal riots without any control, political management by the community leaders through rewards and special favors, and social and economic marginalization going on all the time.
Report’s Polarising Findings: Terror Networks and Organized Crime
One of the inquiry’s shocking aspects is the depiction of the terrorist activities that come from the ethnically and religiously motivated organizations: some are linked to Al-Qaeda, and others are local groups. On top of it, the research reveals that there are highly lucrative arms and drugs distribution networks that have not only made the local area insecure but also have had a strong influence on the flow of people from the region.
Strengthen Governance and Safety
The judicial panel recommended that the state government make an immediate move to turn around the demographic cycle. They have suggested, among other things, that the police force should be increased, that activities for peaceful coexistence should be carried out, and that past policies that may have been the reason for migration should be re-examined.
