Housing Minister V. Somanna informed the Legislative Council on Wednesday that stringent action would be initiated against encroachers of land belonging to Dharmaraya Swamy temple in Bengaluru. He spoke on behalf of Muzrai Minister Shashikala Jolle.
Responding to BJP member N. Ravi Kumar and Congress member P.R. Ramesh, the Minister said there are over 200 encroachers who have built unauthorised constructions on land in various locations that come under this temple.
“We have initiated measures to get them vacated. We will not yield to any influence or pressure and all encroachments will be cleared,” he said.
