After 75 years of taking care of land and property belonging to Hindu community, Muslims return the land for the construction of Mata Sharda temple in Teetwal, district Kupwara, close to the Line of Control. It is being built to revive centuries old pilgrimage to Sharda Peeth in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir(PoK). The plan for the temple has been approved by the Sringeri South Matth. The Hindu community in Kashmir wants the pilgrimage to open on the same pattern as Kartarpur. The muslims handed over the land to the temple committee recently. And have also appealed to both India and Pakistan government to make the Pilgrimage open again, so that the Kashmiri Pandit community can visit the temple in PoK.
