Setting an example of social solidarity, the Hindus and Muslims of Daulatabad has taken the decision to maintain communal harmony. Eid-E-Milad and Ganesh immersion are being celebrated on Thursday. In this backdrop, the Muslims have decided to organised their traditional procession on Saturday instead of Thursday.
