1. Temple entry row | Revenue officials seal Villupuram temple
In view of an ongoing dispute over temple entry, revenue officials of Villupuram district sealed the Dharmaraja Droupadi Amman temple at Melpathi village as a measure to prevent any law and order problem.
The caste Hindus continued to bar the entry of Adi Dravidars into the temple controlled by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department despite several rounds of peace talks. A huge posse of police personnel were deployed at the village.
