Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Girish Chander Murmu on Tuesday, 26 November condemned an attempt by vandals to set ablaze a sufi shrine in South Kashmir's Tral and asked the police chief to strengthen security of shrines across the Union Territory.
A fire incident took place at Kounsarbal (Krusbal) Mohalla, Old Tral Township wherein miscreants set ablaze a shrine adjacent to a local mosque on the intervening night of 25-26 November.
Condemning the “cowardly” act, the LG said that such acts are designed to arouse passion among the people and hurt their sentiments but they will not be tolerated, an official spokesperson said.
