The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) department has recovered 1,250 sq. ft. of land belonging to the Kapaleeswarar temple in Mylapore. Several shops had been built on the land and had been given on rent.
The property, estimated at ₹5 crore, is located on R. K. Mutt Salai and was part of a larger land, which the department had taken possession recently.
