Fulfilling their late father's last wish, two Hindu sisters donated four bighas land worth over ₹1.5 crore to an Eidgah in Kashipur town of Uttarakhand.

Expressing their gratitude to the sisters, Muslims of the area offered prayers for the deceased man on the occasion of Eid.

The gesture by the sisters amid a series of communal clashes across the country has won praises.

Brajnandan Prasad Rastogi, who died 20 years ago, had confided to his close relatives that he wished to donate four bighas of his agricultural land to an Eidgah for its expansion.

Before he could share his last wish with his children, he died in January 2003.

His two daughters Saroj and Anita, who live in Delhi and Meerut, came to know about their father's last wish through relatives recently.

They immediately contacted their brother Rakesh Rastogi, who lives in Kashipur, to seek his consent for it and he agreed readily.
