Ludhiana: A deserted mosque was rehabilitated after 62 years at Longowal, a city in Punjab. The masjid was under occupation of Municipal Committee in recent years.
Few days ago when the roof of the main hall of the masjid collapsed, Municipal Committee shifted its office to one of the side rooms. Local Muslims who have been complaining about the illegal masjid occupation, alerted Majlis-e-Ahrar about the incident.
Majlis-e-Ahrar along with local Sikhs and Hindus were able to build the roof of the mosque in one night and offered namaz. About 200 local Muslims participated in offering prayers.
Muncipal authorities called the police but when the documents were furnished they were satisfied that this building belongs to the masjid.
Mohammad Usman Rahmani Ludhianvi, Maulana Nisar Ahmad, Abdul Hameed, Zafar Husain of Majlis-e-Ahrar were instrumental in getting the masjid possession back to Muslims.

Police have all reasons for their defence
Dr. Mookhi Amir Ali !
I believe you are commenting, maybe living outside India. Living in India, I know, Police will have EVERY REASON to DEFEND their ACTION.
They will ALSO get all the protection from state, central government, and above all JUDICIARY.
Police will say, they were occupying the premises (or performing their duty) to "protect" property from encroachment.
I don't think anyone will be willing to "tie a bell" on a cat or bull's neck.

Mosque premises
If Hindus and Sikhs and Muslims together rebuilt the roof of the mosque it is a wonderful example of communal harmony. Why leave the matter there? Why not proceed against the those who occupied it as a result of encroachment?
