Thiruppanandhal Kasi Madam’s Wall Destroyed; Tamil Desiya Munnetra Kazhagam Takes Responsibility

On 30 October 2023, an unfortunate incident occured in Thiruppanandal, located in the Thanjavur district, at the Kasi Thirumadam, which was founded by Kumaragurubar. A group of individuals, arriving in two separate groups, completely demolished the 400-foot perimeter wall surrounding the Poikai pond within the Math premises. In response to this incident, Selvaraj, the manager of Tiruppanandal Kashi Thirumadam, filed a formal complaint with the police.

At around 2:00 a.m. on the morning of 30 October 2023, Vridhakiri, an individual employed at the Math, heard unusual noises coming from the area. When he went to investigate, he discovered more than ten people, including Mohammad Bilal, who serves as the secretary of the state media wing of the Tamil National Development Association, attempting to escape on motorcycles. The police are actively searching for those responsible for this act.

Preliminary estimates indicate that nearly 2 lakhs of rupees worth of damage was inflicted upon this sacred monument, steeped in religious significance.

It’s worth noting that on the eastern side of this pond, there is a middle school, and some years ago, an accident took place when students mistakenly entered the pond. To ensure the safety of the public and the students, a perimeter wall was constructed around the pool. The sacred pond, spread across an expansive one-acre area, had been enclosed by a protective barrier to ensure its sanctity and safety.

At the forefront of the investigation is the question of who could be behind this heinous act, the local police promised timely action.
