There’s a tug of war over this man’s khata

A private citizen has been issued a
khata for a
temple property that’s maintained by the
Muzrai department and he has even constructed a ground-plus-four floors building on the 600 sq ft area
G oing to meet a revenue inspector to obtain a khata is a trial by fire, it is rumoured. Yet, everyone has to knock on the hallowed doors of the
revenue department because the khata is an all-important document, detailing the assessment of a property, its size, location, built-up area and so on for the purpose of payment of property tax. The khata is also a kind of identification of the person who is primarily liable for payment of property tax. So, how a private citizen came to get a khata for a property owned by a temple maintained by the Muzrai Department is a mystery that many people are wanting answers to.

Security of temples has become a matter of grave concern. Primarily 50 major such incidents took place. After the completion of Dhanurmasa , we will visit all those places. All temples need to install CCTV cameras. It is the responsibility of the endowments department to take care of the security at temples. But there are many lapses in the department. There is a need of course correction, he added.
