Karimnagar: Demolition of a temple sparked tension in Karimnagar town on Saturday. The Navagraha temple constructed recently near Hanuman temple, besides the helipad of the District Collectorate, was demolished on Friday night. The Revenue officials removed the structure as it was constructed illegally on the government land.
Immediately after knowing the incident, BJP leaders and other right wing activists staged a protest at the spot on Friday night itself. They raised slogans against the District Collector and Tahsildar for issuing orders for pulling down the temple. On Saturday also they staged dharna at Prathima Chowk, suspending the vehicular traffic for about 15 minutes.
The police rushed to the spot and cleared the traffic by arresting a few of the agitators. The district administration became alert and started taking up damage control measures by laying foundation stone for the reconstruction of the temple at the same location. Local MLA Gangula Kamalakar initiated construction works by breaking a coconut on Saturday morning.
