The Muslims of the village have collected about Rs 70,000 to help in construction of the lord Shiva temple for Hindus, who are financially not so strong.

According to the village Pradhan Haji Rafaqat Ali, who is also advisor of the temple, the construction was initially opposed by some villagers but they soon joined others in supporting the cause.

The temple that is nearing its completion is awaiting installation of an idol of Lord Shiva which will be bought either from Rajasthan or Haridwar.

Meanwhile, the members of the temple committee have appreciated this noble gesture of their fellow Muslim villagers.
