A ₹100-crore plan to use Ekambareswarar temple property
Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P.K. Sekarbabu told the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Saturday that a ₹100-crore commercial complex would be built on a plot next to the Poonamallee High Road. The land belongs to the Ekambareswarar temple in Kancheepuram. The HR and CE Department took control of the property only recently after evicting the encroachers who occupied it for several years. “The commercial complex would earn money for the temple,” Mr. Sekarbabu said while replying to the demand for grants. Another complex at a cost of ₹50 crore would come up on the land belonging to Egmore Srinivasa Perumal temple, also on the Poonamallee High Road.More Related News
