Henderson Hindu Temple controversy : There has been a big controversy over the construction of a Hindu temple in Henderson city of Las Vegas, America. Just as Pakistan does not allow the construction of a Hindu temple in Islamabad, the Hindu community in Henderson is struggling to build its own temple. The construction work was started by the Hindu Association after the local authorities approved the construction of the Henderson temple, but now Hindus are angry that the construction of the temple is being stopped by making excuses.
Henderson City Council halts construction of temple
According to reports, the Hindu committee has more than one lakh members, who have been struggling to build a temple in Henderson for many years. The matter went to court and permission was also granted to build the temple, but now the city council of the city has withdrawn the permission and stopped the construction work. Hindus living in this city say that the local system is discriminating against Hindus.
The city council forgave the protests of local residents
An attempt to build a temple called Anand Utsav Mandir on five acres of land in rural Henderson has been going on for several years, but in 2022 the city council blocked approval of the temple construction, citing opposition from local residents. In this case, Satish Bhatnagar, a member of the American Hindu Association (Hindu Association), told a news portal that, 'Henderson is a very important place for Hindus. Bhatnagar and Baba Unal bought this land for more than four lakh dollars.
Permission was given to build the temple in the year 2022
Bhatnagar said Henderson wanted to build a place of worship on the other side of the city because of a Hindu temple in Summerlin. He said the Hindu committee has more than one lakh members. The temple was approved in August 2022, but then in October local residents appealed against the approval and claimed that the construction of the temple would harm rural conservation. However, three churches have already been built in the area.
Many changes were made in the construction of the temple in the interest of the local people
After protests from locals, the Hindu committee made several changes in the construction of the temple. The committee changed many things including the height of the temple, parking space. The City Council then voted 4-1 to reject the appeal of the objectors and granted conditional use permission to the American Hindu Association for one year. Then the temple committee also started construction work, but a month before the permission period expired, the city council changed the rules and banned religious activities in the area, which also hurt the sentiments of Hindus. Baba Anal told that the engineers have almost completed the construction of the temple. However, now it has created unnecessary obstacles. We applied to the AHA to extend the permit, but the Henderson City Council refused to extend the period.
