The element disrespected the graveyards of forefathers of the Muslim community too.

The graveyard of national-level wrestler Rustam-E-Hind, Hehardin, who was given shelter by the villagers at the time of Partition, is also in the village.

Members of the Muslim community gave memorandum to the commission member regarding disrespect shown by the anti-social element. The commission member taking serious note of the incident instructed the DSP Goindwal Sahib to conduct detailed inquiry and submit report to his office within seven days.
