Move follows directive issued by Commissioner based on High Court order
The Malabar Devaswom Board took over the administration of the Mattannur Mahadeva Temple amid strong protests by people, who resisted the entry of the officials and the police into the temple, on Wednesday.
Despite the protest, officials led by executive officer P. Sreekumar entered the temple by breaking open the locked gate and door and took charge of the temple.
The protesters gathered in front of the temple by 7.30 a.m. after they got information that Devaswom Board officials, with the support of the police, were planning to take over the administration.
