Mangalore, Oct 26: The city has maintained peace and harmony for centuries. All efforts should be made to carry forward this trend here, said C M Abdullah Musliar Chembarikka on Sunday October 26.
Speaking after assuming charge as ‘Khazi’ of the city at the Central Jumma Masjid, he said that the role of the Khazi is not limited to marriage matters. But he has a big role in everyone’s life from birth to death. He can guide those who seek his guidance but has no right to punish anyone, said Abdullah Musliar.
