Hindus Reclaim Their Worshipping Rights in Mahadevtilla, Reinstall Shivling in the Desecrated Site
Local Manipuri Hindus, with active support from Hindu organisations have reclaimed and reinstalled the Shivling in the Mahadevtilla, where the Khasi miscreants allegedly desecrated the site intentionally to hurt the Hindu sentiments on 17 November.

Members of Hindu Chatra Sangha, Hindu Rakshi Dal and RSS were present in the site to co-operate with the local Manipuri Hindus and the Mahadevtilla Seva Samiti, whose strong determination to win back their ancestral worshipping site has resulted in this fast reclaim over the site.
On 29 November, around 100+ people climbed up to the Mahadevtilla and performed the puja there. The Shivling was reinstalled and a new Banyan tree sapling was planted at the site, where the previous, atleast 250 years old Banyan tree was cut down by the Khasi miscreants.
It is worth mentioning that the local Manipuri Hindus have been worshipping here for more than 100 years now. The tree used to act as a medium of spiritual communication for the local Hindus with their ancestors, who have all been worshipping below this single tree for generations now. However, the Khasi miscreants desecrated the site, allegedly threw away the Shivling and Trishul and cut the Banyan tree down on 17 november which caused a great deal of resentment among the locals. Though the worshipping rights have been reclaimed, the local Hindus are still demanding for the apprehension and strong legal punishment against the miscreants who created the ruckus at the first place.
