Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) P.K. Sekarbabu, on Sunday, said an expert committee had detected at least 30 violations in Chidambaram Nataraja temple.
After launching the Whole Day Prasadam Scheme at five more temples, he said the report of the committee comprising three archaeological experts and two Additional Commissioners would be submitted to the Madras High Court. The violations included constructions carried out without any prior permission and lack of bills for purchases.
On the issue of devotees not being allowed on the Kanaka Sabha, he said since the HR and CE Department did not want to take a confrontational stance towards the Podhu Dikshitars, it had filed a complaint with the police.
