Tamil Nadu Forms Committee to Review Arupadai Veedu Temple Land Holdings
The Tamil Nadu government has formed a special committee to review land holdings of the six Arupadai Veedu temples dedicated to Lord Murugan, starting with the Dhandayuthapani temple in Palani. This follows allegations of a Rs 100-crore land scam involving fraudulent registration of 1.4 acres of temple land. The committee, comprising officials from the HR CE, Revenue, and other departments, will verify land records and take legal action against irregularities such as unauthorized transfers and encroachments.
