The situation was defused with the Minister for Minorities and Wakf.Mohammad Fariduddin ordering the reconstruction of the partially damaged place of worship. As word on demolition of the religion structures spread like a wild fire, women of the Muttangi village sat on the National Highway and organized a rasta rako.
