Endowments Minister Kottu Satyanarayana has said that the State government was committed to protecting the temple’ properties.
Addressing the media here on Tuesday, Mr. Satyanarayana, who is also Deputy Chief Minister, said that there were many cases pending in the courts and judgments were being pronounced in favour of private people.
All cases would be assigned to Assistant Commissioner and a standing committee would be monitoring the cases. The issue pertaining to temple lands that were encroached upon was being looked into seriously. If need be, the government is ready to knock on the doors of the Supreme Court to protect the properties of temples, said the Minister.
