In a recent development, Bajrang Dal has achieved another significant triumph as it played a pivotal role in reclaiming encroached temple property in Kottarakkara, Kerala. The incident unfolded at the “Thiru Aryankavu Koikal Shasta Temple” in Ezhukon.
The contentious matter began when K. Omanakuttan, the local secretary of CPI-M in Ezhukon, constructed a structure on temple land without obtaining proper permissions. Initially, a shed was erected, leading to an objection and subsequent complaint by Bajrang Dal activists.

In response to the ombudsman’s order for the shed’s demolition, a rapid retaliatory move was witnessed. The local CPM secretary orchestrated the hasty construction of a building using cement bricks within a mere two days.
Both the temple authorities and Bajrang Dal promptly reported this encroachment issue to the district collectorate. Fueled by mounting protests and concerns, officials from the Panchayat took swift action, deploying heavy machinery including a JCB to dismantle the unlawfully erected structure.
The incident highlights a widespread predicament of temple land encroachment, resonating with various such cases across the region. Bajrang Dal members have indicated their intention to escalate the matter legally and pursue legal recourse through the court system.
This occurrence underscores an important lesson for the local community. The incident reaffirms that Hindus often turn to organizations like Bajrang Dal and RSS when confronted with issues related to their religious and cultural heritage. In this specific case, the encroached property of Thiru Aryankavu Koikal Shasta Temple was successfully reclaimed, largely due to the vigilance, objection, and protests spearheaded by Bajrang Dal activists.
Thanks to the concerted efforts and pressure exerted by Bajrang Dal, the Panchayat officials took definitive action to effectively remove the illegally constructed structure, thereby restoring the sanctity of the temple premises.
