Will restore 50k vandalised temples in Jammu and Kashmir : Minister Kishan Reddy

Bengaluru : The government will restore and reopen 50,000 vandalised temples in Jammu & Kashmir, junior Union home minister Kishan Reddy said on Monday. He also said that the Centre is considering elections in the Valley in a phased manner once normalcy returns.

Reddy said the Centre is aware that these temples, defaced and vandalised over decades, needed restoration. “These temples were vandalised when Kashmiri Pandits and Hindus were driven out of the Valley. We’ll do a survey of these temples and reopen them,” he said.
