Assam's Muslim Community Allows Demolition Of Mosque For Flood Relief

In Assam's Dibrugarh district, the Muslim community has demonstrated remarkable unity and cooperation by voluntarily permitting the demolition of a 128-year-old mosque, Chaulkhowa Jama Masjid, to facilitate the construction of a concrete drain. This initiative aims to address the persistent issue of flash floods in the region. Recently, part of the mosque was demolished with no resentment from the community, who, despite being deeply religious, prioritized the larger benefit of flood management. This act of collective spirit highlights the community's commitment to regional development and disaster mitigation.
