Meanwhile Shri Jawala JI Samiti in its meeting here today held under the chairmanship of its president M K Raina discussed in detail the situation created due gutting of holy shrine of Mata Jawala Ji at Khrew in Pulwama district of Kashmir valley.
It said reconstruction of the temple was needed immediately and the construction will be taken up in hand as early as possible.
