A 42 -year -old Hanuman temple is under controversy in Hisar city of Haryana. The Municipal Corporation has issued a notice to break this temple as illegal. In this notice pasted outside the temple, the priests and managers of the temple have been ordered to remove it within seven days. The corporation says that if the temple is not removed, the administration itself will demolish it. This decision has created heavy anger among the local people and Hindu organizations. Organizations have warned that they will not allow the temple to touch, even if they have to give their lives for this. The matter has now taken the form of conflict between religious sentiments and administrative rules.
This Hanuman temple of Hisar was established 42 years ago and is a major center of faith for the local community. Every year thousands of devotees come here to visit, especially on Hanuman Jayanti and other religious occasions. The temple has not only been the center of religious, but also social activities, where people unite and celebrate. Local residents say that this temple is part of their cultural identity, and it is like hurting their feelings.
The Municipal Corporation claims that the temple was constructed on government land without permission, which is a violation of the rules. Corporation officials said that a campaign is going on against illegal constructions in the city, and this notice is part of the same. The corporation says that the decision to remove the temple has been taken under the purview of the law, and it is not intended to hurt anyone’s religious sentiments. However, local people and Hindu organizations are not ready to accept this attitude of the corporation.
