Earlier, administration had demolished Deity Shiva temple in Shivpuri. The administration took this action in the presence of the Police. The administration said that the complaints about illegal construction of temples are coming from the Public Works Department. Hence, the Hindus demanded action against the Public Works Department.
The administration had tried to demolish Deity Hanuman temple built at Bhajanpura on Wazirabad road and Chand Baba’s mazar (Muslim tomb) built on ‘Beach Road’ a few days ago but the action could not be taken due to opposition.
