On asking about the service towards the temple, Hussein says he finds peace of mind while working in the temple and his work has been appreciated by thousands of devotees who visit the temple on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, an office-bearer in the temple, Venkatesh Babu told ANI, "He has been working with me at my shop for over 18 years. After I was elected as an office bearer of the temple committee, I gave him the responsibility of cleaning the temple. He comes every year before Ram Navami and cleans the temple. There are no issues between Hindus and Muslims in this region. We all live in complete harmony."

Hussein told the news agency he remains dedicated to his work and is unfazed by Hindu-Muslim tension. He is happy to be on his toes to serve everyone who comes to the temple to seek blessings of Lord Ram.
