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.
