Devotees of Swaminatha Swamy Temple and local traders on Thusrday staged a demonstration at Swamimalai near Kumbakonam urging the State government to lift closure of temples during weekends.
Participating in the demonstration held near the temple, they raised slogans condemning the government for shutting down shrines from Friday to Sunday while throwing open other business establishments such as cinema theatres, parks and memorials.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
