We are asking everyone to attend Franklin Zoning Board meeting

The Hindu Temple, Dada Bhagwan Nignan Institute recently sold their property at 630 S. Middlebush Rd. to the Mosque, Tawheed Dawah Center which plans to build 19,350 sq ft place of worship on land zoned as AGRICULTURAL, and they request permission to hold prayer services 5 times per day, 7 days per week.
