Chengalpattu residents, led by Hindu Munnani, protest against G Square, a DMK Stalin family-related Tamil Nadu real estate firm, for allegedly demolishing a temple compound wall to construct drainage for its project in Chengalpattu district.
The Lakshmi Narayana temple in Pallikaranai, Chengalpattu district, is a very old temple that attracts devotees from all over northern districts in Tamil Nadu. Local residents reported on Thursday that the company G-Square, whose promoters are allegedly related to Sabareesan, son-in-law of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, demolished the temple compound wall to construct drainage for the G-Square firm’s recently started real estate project.
According to the local residents, the construction was not stopped despite their opposition, which forced them to jump into protest along with Hindu Munnani and other Hindu organizations. Members of Hindu Munnani said that they will protest alongside the people until the temple property is handed back.
“G-Square, company related to MK Stalin’s son-in-law Sabareesan, has encroached land belonging to the 1000-year-old Lakshmi Narayana temple. With the support of government officials, G-Square constructed its drainage by demolishing the temple property.”, Hindu Munnani stated in a tweet.

G Square Realtors Private Limited is a real estate company that aggregates land parcels to set up residential plots and commercial complexes. It also sells these land parcels to big corporates to set up IT parks. G Square has gobbled up the real estate spaces spanning Chennai, Trichy, Coimbatore, and Hosur with several luxury housing projects to its name. No other real estate firm has seen a such meteoric rise in a short span of time. This has led to allegations that the company has seen this astounding rise owing to its close ties with the family members of DMK chief MK Stalin. G-Square and the DMK connect can be accessed through The Commune article here.
