Hindu Munnani fights the Governments efforts to remove 300-yr-old temples and establish Samathuvapuram

The Hindu Munnani has fought and stopped the governments efforts to eliminate 300-yr-old temples and establish Samathuvapuram (An equality village scheme where 100 houses will be built to accommodate various castes in a village and where a common burial ground and community hall is to be shared by all) in Salem.

The three temples of Panangaattu Muniyappan, Periyaandichi Amman and Veeramaathi Amman in Salem are being worshipped by people of the place. It is said that these temples are approximately 300 years old. The government has been trying to eliminate these temples and bring about Samathuvapuram in its place. The Hindu Munnani has stopped this effort by the government and also took to social media to share about the same.

A tweet shared from the organisation’s official page in Tamil said, “The government’s efforts to eliminate the 300-yr-old temples of Panangaattu Muniyappan, Periyaandichi Amman and Veeramaathi Amman in Salem has come to a stop and the temples have been saved, because of opposition from the Hindu Munnani.”
