Sharma, addressing a gathering on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha at Bindapur, said the new Haj house to be constructed would be big and modern as compared to the existing one in Mumbai.

He also said the city government has been providing computers in Madrasas apart from appointing Urdu teachers in large number.

Another Kabristan over a piece of land measuring 3.5 acre would be constructed in Dwarka.

Sharma announced a park in Bindapur would be named after great freedom fight Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and another in Bindapur would be known as Jumma Park.
