Rs. 1.75 crore worth lands belonging to Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department in Coimbatore: Encroachments demolished


Coimbatore: Commercial buildings that encroached Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department in Coimbatore were removed. With that, the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department reclaimed the temple land worth Rs. 1.75 crore.

Similarly there were two commercial buildings of 1,060 square feet belonging to the Lakshmi Narayana Venugopala Swamy Temple.
