Latest Answer: Actually the removal of the idol wasn’t that easy. Initially it was just the town planning commission who were waiting for more police officials. I know its just a tiny 86 cents land, but there was some protests from the residents of the locality as well because they actually wanted the temple there. There was some Hindu group also, who were supporting this temple. But after some negotiations the corporation were finally able to convince the residents to remove the idol.
Latest Answer: Its another classic case of land encroachment that is happening so widely in Coimbatore. This land was handed over to the builders by the Coimbatore Corporation as an open land reserve, but instead he violated that and built up some structures there. So obviously its strictly illegal. So naturally the corporation complained against this. As of now, a case of land encroachment has been registered against the Mint homes and its director Raj Natarajan. A part of it was demolished on 6th July.
