Some unidentified miscreants had vandalised Kalapani Anchalik Mosque and burnt some Islamic holy texts, including some copies of the Quran in the wee hours of March 2nd, 2020. This had enraged the people of the area. Upholding the spirit of unity and brotherhood, non-Muslim communities gifted copies of Quran to each to the vandalised mosque in western Assam’s Baksa district as a token of peace and harmony.
