Hindu Munnani successfully halted the opening of an illegal church in Kattiampandal village, located in Uthiramerur taluka of Kancheepuram district, due to lack of proper documentation and prior approval from district authorities.
The church, being constructed on government-owned public land in Kattiampandal village, was nearing completion, and preparations were underway for its opening ceremony, despite the absence of permission from the District Collector.
Concerned locals approached Hindu Munnani for assistance. In response, officials from the organization, led by Kanchi Divisional Secretary R.D. Mani, visited the site and surrounded the church. They lodged a formal complaint with the Uthiramerur Tehsildar, who then issued an order citing potential law and order issues. The Tehsildar’s order denied permission to open the church, as it was being constructed on government land without official consent.
As preparations for the church’s opening continued, Hindu Munnani and local residents announced their intent to block the road in support of the Tehsildar’s order. In response, the Village Administrative Officer assured that action would be taken, and the public gathered around the illegal church site.
