#MadrasHighCourt requests Advocate General to look into suggestions that may be made by Party-in-Person and temple activist Rangarajan Narasimhan on how the functioning of the HR&CE Department can be improved for the welfare of temples in Tamil Nadu.

@OurTemples
While making submissions in a PIL moved against State's decision to use temple land in Kallakurichi for the construction of a collectorate building, Narasimhan had raised a larger grievance that the HR&CE Department is not taking care of temples in Tamil Nadu.

#MadrasHighCourt
Responding to submissions that the State's construction activities would end up lands becoming "concrete jungles", #MadrasHighCourt CJ Sanjib Banerjee orally observes,

"The way we're procreating, we will leave very little green land in 50 years’ time."

#CourtroomExchange
"... with the way that we are increasing in numbers in India, you cannot make an argument that open land should be kept open. As long as we do not touch land which is cultivated, forests are preserved... A concrete jungle is also necessary for societal order."

#MadrasHighCourt
"We will ensure that the temple's interests are best protected..every paisa that is due to the temple, you will get before we allow a brick to be laid down", #MadrasHighCourt orally assures petitioner, but urges that the public project should not be opposed only "in principle."
