Gurugram Church Vandalism Sparks Police Warning
A church being built in Gurugram was damaged by unknown people.
The church has all the right papers to build, but some local Hindu groups don't want it there.
They think the church might be used for converting people to Christianity.
The police have put guards at the church and told the Hindu groups not to cause trouble.
The Hindu groups say there are no Christian families nearby and they don't want the church.
The church people want more protection because they are scared of more damage.
An under-construction church in Teekli village, Gurugram, was vandalized, damaging CCTV cameras and electrical fittings.
The church construction has government approval from the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).
Hindu outfits, including VHP and Bajrang Dal, oppose the church, fearing it's a front for religious conversion activities.
Police have deployed a PCR van at the site and issued notices to Hindu outfit leaders, warning against disrupting law and order.
The church has demanded improved security but has not filed a complaint about the vandalism.
