Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) P.K. Sekarbabu on Thursday said the government would soon take a call on allowing devotees to worship from the Kanakasabhai, inside the Nataraja temple in Chidambaram. The worship had been stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking to The Hindu, he said the Madras High Court had directed the government to take a call on the issue. “Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had directed us to make the decision after obtaining reports from the District Collector, Superintendent of Police and RDO. They have given a report on the issue and an order would be given soon,” he said.
