Zonal executive president, VHP, South Karnataka, M.B. Puranik, says officials have begun issuing notices to such temple managements.
 
Stating that the State government is trying to take over private Hindu temples in the State, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) said on Thursday that the government should withdraw a circular issued in this connection.
Addressing presspersons here, zonal executive president, VHP, South Karnataka, M.B. Puranik, said that Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department on November 24, 2020 wrote to the Deputy Commissioners reminding them of a circular issued by the department on August 3, 2015.
This circular (issued in 2015) mentioned that the Assistant Commissioners should mandatorily get private temples registered under Section 53 of the Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments (Amendment) Acts of 2011. In its November letter, the department has sought details from the Deputy Commissioners on the action taken and a report on the number of such private temples registered in their respective districts, he said. After the government wrote the letter recently, the officials have begun issuing notices to private temples, he added.
