Posted on: 30/Sep/2013 2:24:27 PM
All the temples in the city run by individuals and trusts are soon to be taken by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE).
All temples in the State came under the purview of the HR&CE Act, an official said. The department only enforces the Act.
An official of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments said, Even after we bring the temples under the control of the department, the trusts can continue to administer them with certain conditions. The temples can benefit from various government schemes including provision of funds for renovation. There would be 400-odd temples in Chennai outside the effective control of the department.
Elaborating on government schemes, the official said most temple thefts took place in ones managed by private trusts or families.
