A local Mata‑ki‑Chauki in Aerocity, Mohali has formally requested allocation of space to construct a temple.
A religious committee known as Mata‑ki‑Chauki, operating in the Aerocity area of Mohali, has submitted a formal request to local authorities for a parcel of land to build a temple. The appeal was lodged amid growing demand from devotees for a dedicated worship space within the rapidly developing commercial zone.
The group highlighted the cultural importance of a temple for the local Hindu community and cited the need for a safe, accessible location for regular prayers and festivals. They have approached the municipal office, seeking a plot that can accommodate the proposed structure without disrupting existing infrastructure.
As of now, officials have not issued a response, and the matter is pending further deliberation. Stakeholders anticipate that the decision will consider urban planning regulations and community sentiment.
The request underscores a broader trend of religious groups seeking space in newly developed urban areas across Punjab, balancing development with traditional practices.
Further updates will follow as the municipal authorities review the application and communicate their stance.
