The state Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE)
department has intensified its drive against encroachments on temple
lands. Apart from those under occupation in the city suburbs, the temple
officials across the state have been asked to evict encroachers and
retrieve the property.According to sources, senior HR&CE
officials are monitoring the pace of work on regaining the lands and
properties belonging to the department temples throughout Tamil Nadu,
on a regular basis. A comprehensive data on the extent of properties
recovered since the mission was launched in 2011 is being maintained
district-wise. Also, a database on the properties belonging to all the
temples under the control of the HR&CE department is being created.
On December 3, officials of the Sri Varadharaja Perumal temple, Poonamallee, bulldozed unauthorised shops constructed on the land belonging to the temple and recovered property worth `36 crore. About five persons who had leased out a portion of the temple building had constructed shops, which eventually were razed down, the sources said.In a similar drive, recently, the HR&CE authorities retrieved land, said to be worth Rs25 crore, by evicting huts and some concrete structures built on about 3.05 acres of land belonging to Sri Karivaradharaja Perumal temple in Melayanampakkam.
Also, 1.29 acres belonging to Sri Nellaiyappar Gandhimathi Ambal temple in Tirunelveli, which had been encroached upon by a limestone mining company for several years, was taken into possession again.
