I regret to inform that the Hindu Centre and Mandir was burgled on Monday night 31st October. With the Grace of Almight God, the deities were not damaged and neither any amount was stolen. On Monday morning I had emptied all the donation boxes and had banked all the money donated at the Annkut celebration on Sunday 30th Oct evening, leaving a few copper coins in each of the donation boxes.

However they damaged the doors leading to the Mandir lounge and kitchen and the store room. They ransacked the kitchen /office and took away with them donated CD Rom (computor ) and printer. They also toook away with them a small cd-ipod player.

Police was informed and the temporary repairs had been carried out by Sanjay Martin Spettigue. The kitchen door will have to be replaced and other repairs to doors will be done soon.

All activities of the Samaj will continue as before.

You are most welcome to donate £20 or £50 towards the repair of damage. Cheque payable to "Ipswich Hindu Samaj". The cost of repairs may be upto £500.
