Moradabad district administration has reopened a century-old temple which was closed in 1980 after communal violence erupted in the city. "After reopening the temple, we excavated the inner sanctum. Inside, we discovered broken statues of deities, as well as the Shivalay (Shiva Parivar)," SDM Ram Mohan Meena said. Renovation work to restore the temple to its original form is underway.
