20,000 acres of Temple land encroached in Telangana, State Government decides to act tough

Op India  

The Telangana government has decided to take action against illegal occupants of large tracts of temple lands. Telangana Endowments Minister, A Indra Karan Reddy, has now directed the officials to act against encroachers and evict them from the state lands. The encroachments have happened as the lessees are taking the temple lands at throwaway prices and in turn, they had given them on sub-lease at market prices, which has also resulted in huge revenue loss to the Endowments department. The officials have also planned to erect fencing around the temple lands and putting up notice boards stating that those lands belonged to the Endowments Department. According to the latest information available with the Endowments Department, the Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions in the State possess landed property to an extent of 87,235.39 acres.
