Fiji: A Hindu mandir in Vutuni, Fiji, was completed destroyed by fire on Friday night. Fiji’s National Fire Authority received the emergency call at about 10:50pm but were unable to respond immediately as fire crew was committed to another fire at the same time.
The Fire Authority has completed its investigations into the cause of the fire and will submit a report to the police for further investigations. Fijian Hindus are routinely subject to arson and violence. In September, 2004, during Dipavali celebrations, the Naga Baba Kutti temple of Raralevu was burnt to the ground. Several Hindu temples have been similarly razed over the years.
