This land would be used for the seating arrangements of devotees and the boundary wall.
SDM said that the orders related to the land donation were issued on August 16.
The temple committee chairman Raju Vaish said that the land was donated by Javed Ansari in consultation with his brothers Parvez, Shahnaj, Shoib and Shadab.
“Now, the land is under the possession of temple committee,” he added.
Meanwhile, Ansari, who donated the land, said, “I have donated this land to Hanuman Mandir to send out a message of communal harmony. I believe that such gestures will increase brotherhood between the Hindu and Muslim communities.”
