Tamil Nadu District Tense As Authorities Plan To Lead Dalits Into Temple | Read
A community of Scheduled Castes in Tamil Nadu who were denied entry into a temple for several decades will be taken into the temple for worship by the district administration in the Tiruvannamalai district, authorities said today. The issue came to light during a parent-teacher conference, and the historic step became possible following a series of meetings with the dominant communities in the area. However, there's heavy police deployment outside the temple to avert any untoward incident as the situation is tense because of fierce opposition by some.
