Rapid Action Force (RAF) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has offered to permanently station one of its platoons in Rameswaram , for the protection of Ramanathaswamy Temple .

An RAF platoon was here to carry out the routine ‘familiarisation exercise’ in the district, which had been identified as one of the sensitive districts in the State by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) following an IB report based on previous incidents, 

Mr. Raja said. “The platoon will visit every nook and cranny of the district during the week-long exercise to assess the situation and instil confidence in the minds of the people,” he said. After carrying out the exercise they would submit a report to the Ministry of Home Affairs through the commandant, he said.

This was a routine exercise carried out once in two years in the sensitive districts and it had nothing to do with the coming Assembly elections.

During the exercise, they would hold discussions with community leaders to foster communal amity and carry out flag marches in areas suggested by the district police, he said.

“The platoon will visit every nook and cranny of the district during the week-long exercise”

Madras HC dismisses pleas challenging kumbabishekam at Rameswaram temple -2016

MADURAI: The Madurai bench of the Madras high court on Thursday dismissed a batch of two writ petitions that challenged the kumbabishekam at the Lord Ramanathaswamy temple in Rameswaram, scheduled to be held on January 20.

The petitioners S Pakshi Sivarajan and K Ramamoorthy filed the petitions on various grounds., 

Ramamoorthy claimed that a consecration committee had not been formed and the date had been fixed by political powers, not by the temple trust board, and that the day fixed for the ceremony was an inauspicious day.

Sivarajan pointed out that the idol of the main deity was in a damaged condition and performing consecration without correcting the same was against the Agama Sastra

Dismissing the petitions, the division bench of justices V Ramasubramanian and N Kirubakaran observed that the issues raised by the petitioners could not be examined on any judicially prescribed standards or parameters and so they dismissed the petitions.
