Ujjain Mosque Committee Backs Portion Removal, Talks Resume Peacefully
A road-widening project affects part of a mosque in Ujjain.
The mosque committee discussed what should happen.
Some people did not know about the decision made on Sunday night.
This caused tension in the area.
Stones were thrown on Monday.
The committee later supported removing the part of the mosque that blocks the road project.
It said the decision was made to keep the rest of the religious site as safe as possible.
The aim is now for the work to continue peacefully.
The Ujjain mosque committee backed removing a portion of the mosque obstructing a road-widening project.
