Some of the statues were broken into pieces. They also tried to break open the store room of the temple, but couldn\u2019t succeed,\u201d said a senior police officer. We have registered a case and initiated investigations, he added.<br><br>The attack on the temple has triggered sharp criticism from various religious and social organizations. \u201cThe temple, it seems, has been attacked to disturb communal harmony in Jammu. I demand from the police to arrest the culprits at the earliest and get them punished under the law of land,\u201d said former J&amp;K deputy chief minister Kavinder Gupta. The incident occurred at a time when Navratri festival is on and such incidents can cause violence and protests among the people, he added. \u201cWe will not tolerate these types of incidents at our religious places,\u201d Gupta further said. It may be stated here that the same temple was twice attacked in the past in similar fashion.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/cities\/chandigarh-news\/temple-vandalised-in-jammu-s-sidhra-policemen-deployed-101649545390696.html\n\">https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/cities\/chandigarh-news\/temple-vandalised-in-jammu-s-sidhra-policemen-deployed-101649545390696.html<br><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAMMU\/KASHMIR, April 10, 2022 (Hindustan Times): Policemen were deployed in strength at a temple in Sidhra area on the outskirts,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18352,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18331"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18331\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18353,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18331\/revisions\/18353"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
