Hindus, Muslims agree to have temple beside mazar in UP village



Lucknow, Sep 16 (PTI) Hindus and Muslims at Duswakalan village in Maharajganj district of Uttar Pradesh have set an example by amicably agreeing to construction of a temple and a mazar after statues of Lord Shiva and Nandi were recovered during renovation of the mazar.



The statues were recovered while digging a mazar of Malang Baba here, after which members of both Hindu and Muslim communities held a panchayat at the village, Additional Director General (Law and Order) Brijlal told reporers here today.



Taking note of the sentiments of both the sections, the panchyat decided unanimously that of the total land of mazar, a temple would be constructed on half and there would be mazar in the rest of the area, he said.

It means, mandir was demolished and Mazar was build.
