The members of the Munnani staged a demonstration in front of the civic body’s office at Town Hall.
Speaking with media, Hindu Munnani spokesperson RR Murugesan said, “Seven of them were located inside the city while two are located on the city’s outskirts; they were demolished on Wednesday. The protests are because of this demolition.”
City corporation officials couldn’t be contacted for their comment.
Among the temples demolished were Amman Kovil, Bannari Amman Kovil, Karupparayan Kovil and Angalamman temple.
The city corporation had been carrying out the drive to clear way for the implementation of lake rejuvenation and restoration project. Last year, the authorities had moved more than 2,400 families from the tank bund after razing their homes, citing encroachment of the lake.
The newly elected DMK government has in fact vowed to spend crores for the refurbishment of temples across Tamil Nadu.
