Khan told this correspondent, “I deployed a JCB machine. It cleared a sugarcane field of the roots. Now, no Ram Bhakt will feel any piercing feel in his or her sole.”

Jhal Khandi Devi Mandir

The Chief Pujari of the Jhal Khandi Devi Mandir Krishna Nand Mishra and his team hail Khan’s work. Khan is a noted contractor and a well-known civil society activist who fought the Panki Vidhan Sabha election in 2019 but in vain.

Khan said he has been doing this Kar Sewa for over a decade. He said his community gives him support as no Muslim has ever told him not to do this. Rather, he said his Muslim friends encourage him to do it more zealously.
