A Lord Shiva temple in Sambhal’s Khaggu Sarai area, closed since 1978, has been reopened as part of a police-led anti-encroachment drive. Vishnu Sharan Rastogi, patron of the Nagar Hindu Sabha, confirmed the reopening. According to Additional SP Shrish Chandra, unauthorized constructions around the temple had encroached on the site, which has now been cleared. Action will be taken against those responsible for the encroachments. The temple, housing idols of Lord Shiva and Lord Hanuman, also has an ancient well nearby. Officials noted that Hindu families had left the area decades ago for unspecified reasons. Sambhal: Massive Electricity Theft Found in Houses and Religious Sites in Uttar Pradesh, Inspections Underway (Watch Videos).
