Salem residents reject Hindu temple plan
SALEM — Some think a proposed Hindu temple could be a thing of beauty — as long as it's not built on Lowell Road.
Several residents told the Planning Board last night the three-story temple would overwhelm their neighborhood with traffic and noise.
The 17,000-square-foot structure, proposed by pediatrician Dr. Deepak Sharma, is planned for 33 Lowell Road — adjacent to several small businesses and Coles Mobile Home Park.
