Kali Mata Temple Takeover
Kalka, July 24 Mandir management committee president Amar Nath Sharma and others claimed that the state government had deliberately occupied the temple without serving any notice on them. “We will challenge this in the Punjab and Haryana High Court to get justice,” he added.
