Readers! This mosque is 400 year old which has been totally hid by bushes so that no one could see it. In spite of that one minaret can be seen from above. There is a garden surrounding the mosque. As far as the locals are concerned they want the mosque to be rehabilitated so that they can offer prayer there. The area is surrounded by large number of Muslim population. There is strict guard on the garden gate; no one is allowed to enter the garden. The mosque is located at the centre of the garden. Despite the fact that the mosque has a waqf record, the waqf board authorities did not enter the garden to see the mosque. What is the reason behind this helplessness is a matter that should be pondered upon?
