Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR&CE) P.K. Sekarbabu on Wednesday said that appointments to the post of trustees of temples would be completed within 2022.
Speaking to reporters here after visiting Sri Subramanya Swamy Temple at Vayalur, he said that the previous government had failed to establish Boards of Trustees in various temples across the State. The HR&CE had taken steps to appoint trustees in about 300 temples. A number of people had aspired for the honorary posts. The process of appointing trustees had been started. A committee had been appointed to study the applications. New trustees would be appointed based on merits of the applicants. The process would be completed by 2022.
To a question on the alleged discrimination against the priests of all castes appointed recently by the DMK government for performing pujas to the presiding deities at some of the leading temples, Mr. Sekarbabu said when a few such instances were brought to his knowledge he immediately intervened in the matter and ensured equal rights. There was no restriction on them performing poojas for the presiding deities.
