Peterborough City Council in the UK plans to sell the property of Bharat Hindu Samaj Mandir, the city’s only Hindu temple, raising concern among local Hindus. Founded in 1986, the temple serves over 13,000 people across eastern England and hosts festivals, after-school clubs, cultural education, health programs, and soup kitchens. Temple trustees offered up to £1.3 million to buy the site, but the council plans to auction it. MP Bob Blackman urged the Mayor to protect the temple, calling it vital to the community. Residents say the sale would be a huge loss and seek an alternative solution. (PC: India Today)
