Mosque on temple land faces threat of demolition in Chennai

A mosque located for nearly 40 years on Valluvar Kottam High Road at Nungambakkam, a prime locality in the heart of Chennai city, is facing the threat of demolition since the Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal preferred by Nungambakkam Muslim Welfare Association (NMWA).

What’s more is that the Supreme Court has confirmed the Madras High Court’s January 2017 order declaring that the land on which the mosque had been constructed belonged to the Agastheeswarar Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal Devasthanam.
